Because I google "Marooned?" constantly, I found this blog review from a guy who saw it at Durango. It's just a blurb, but very encouraging nonetheless.

"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.
