ComingSoon is exclusively revealing the nominees for Film Threat’s Award This! ceremony, which aims to champion and bring awareness to exceptional indie films.
The ceremony is set to take place on Sunday, December 10 at the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, California. A limited number of tickets will soon be available for the public to purchase on the show’s official website. It will also be able to be seen at a special virtual event shortly after they are presented.
“Hollywood often shows us that they can re-make anything, but indie filmmakers continue to show us that there are no limits in cinema,” said Film Threat publisher and Award This! producer Chris Gore. “Award This! and Film Threat are here to champion voices that color outside the lines. Independent cinema rises like a phoenix away from the studio cutting room floor. Join us as we cheer on the rebel artists on December 10th. And it’s always fun to party with a group of amazing and eclectic filmmakers.”
