	Best of the Festival Winner Split Estate	Debra Anderson	Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine having little recourse, other than accepting an unregulated industry in your backyard. Split Estate maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.
	Audience Choice Award Winner Did I Do OK?	Mara Leader	An experimental abstract video with a narration of original text. The juxtaposition of imagery and text creates a visual narration for the viewer to form a personal interpretation of their own. Rhythmic editing syncopates the visceral quality of the film and leaves the viewer with an intimate look at an abstract conceptual vagary.
	Gold Award Winner The Lady of Sequim Bay	Christopher Wright	A Rod Serling take-off of the “Vanishing Hitchhiker” folk story theme shot near Seattle.
	Silver Award Winner Duo Duo and Xiao-Ming	Fengyu Hao	A 2D/3D animated short that offers an entertaining and educational alternative to public school safety information that demonstrates the best course of action for earthquake safety. It tells a story of Xiao-Ming and his robot panda Duo Duo's experience through an earthquake.
	Pandemic	Tim Sedillo	Dr. Steven Drake is searching for a cure for Ebola when something goes wrong. His experimental virus mutates cusing all exposed to turn into zombies. Now he is in a race for his life.
	PSA: Redux	Pierre Barrera	Native Americans are no longer crying over litter.
	The Bob Project	Chris Zappe & Animation Projects Class @ Desert Academy	An ordinary man wakes on an ordinary morning to find giant lobsters conducting clandestine experiments in his attic.
	Fiesta de San Antonio	Bob Ayre	Fiesta de San Antonio as Photographs by Bob Ayre
