The Dodge College of Film & Media Arts at Chapman University has chosen my work on "La Nina del Desierto" to submit to the ASC's 24th Annual Heritage Awards. The submission went out Monday, and the ASC announces it's selections from film schools around the world in February 2010.

Given the choice of either a single six minute clip or a four minute clip coupled with a separate two minute clip to submit I opted for the single six minute clip: the film was in every element made to be an experience of the environment created, and I wouldn't want to cut that feeling short; furhermore I feel the cinematography was strictly a conduit for the narrative, and would lose all its power without a least some access to the narrative. I was, however, dying to submit the night gas station segment as well as the day stuff. All about choices.
