So, by now, everybody’s heard endlessly about all the big mainstream movie, tv show and comic book news that came out of this year’s Comic-Con International.
However, the unsung winners of the world’s largest media gathering were the winners of Comic-Con’s Independent Film Festival, which ran four straight days and nights of genre short films from all over the world. Films were screened in blocks according to type with one winning film picked from each block.
The big winner of the Cci-iff was Alex DeMille’s The Absence, a horror film about a middle manager investigating an odd mystery being covered up by the corporation he works for. The Absence took home two awards, one for Best Horror/Suspense Film and the other the Judge’s Choice Award.
(Judges for the fest included filmmakers Steven-Charles Jaffee and Kyle Newman, plus entertainment journalist Borys Kit.)
