The Movies Askew Fest went off without a hitch, and a good time was had by all (for anyone wondering, Cinespace is a phenomenal place to throw a party, man).

The panel of judges was made up of Richard “Donnie Darko” Kelly, Jason Mewes, Scott Mosier and me (and the entire audience for the Audience Award). And the winners were as follows…

Audience Award – Elias Matar’s “Chingaso the Clown”

Special Recognition Award – Scott Rice’s “Perils in Nude Modeling”

And the Grand Prize Winner – Duane Graves’ “Up Syndrome”

A compilation of all the finalist’s short films can be viewed here.

Thanks to everyone, auteur and audience alike, who attended.

In MySpace-related news, like a total uncouth fucktard, I shot past my 100,000th “friend” without giving him a shout-out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Josh.
