Thompson is a documentary

It is not an easy task to get your film into SXSW. My friend's daughter and her boyfriend made it into the competition. This was really cool. Then last night, they won:

Short Jury Awards
REEL SHORTS
Winner
Thompson, Director: Jason Tippet

That is an uber awesome achievement! Documentaries are my favorite genre and after seeing the trailer I knew Thompson would be great. The subject matter was interesting, the music and the editing of the trailer all promised an engaging and poignant documentary. I have yet to see it because the SXSW schedule has limited it to only days and times I cannot make. I was right about this doc though...congratulations Elizabeth and Jason on a great documentary!!!!!!!
