PROVO, Utah, Runic Films and Little Empire Productions are excited to announce that Hashtag, their prescient science fiction short film, has won BEST SCI-FI SHORT FILM at FilmQuest film festival! Director and co-writer Ben Alpi was on hand to accept the award.
Alpi says, “Many thanks to Festival Director Jonathan Martin, Assistant Director Jonna Jackson, and the Filmquest staff and judges. It is a massive honor for Hashtag to win Best Sci-Fi at FilmQuest. With three years of work, this is a great award for all the cast and crew and their outstanding performances and craftsmanship. And thanks to our Kickstarter backers for their support!”
