"Marooned?" Wins Award!
Last night, Marooned? screened at the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival and won the audience award for best science fiction film. I met two fans of Channel 101 there who recognized me as Shizuki Thornbird. It was a lot of fun and it was the first time I'd ever been at a screening of the film with a group of strangers, so it was nice to see that they enjoyed it.
