Future awards are such a blowout. More so than the first feature awards. Any award at Cannes or any event with such eyes is great but to say the Prize of the future doesn't credit the film/filmmaker well. A special recognition or Breakthrough film award or Upcoming filmmaker, would bode well in my opinion but using 'future' in the award just distracting.
ReplyDeletePerhaps. I'm sure they don't mean it that way.
