2005 Award Winners
PTFF began awarding cash prizes to films submitted in the festival's competitive program in 2004 thanks to a generous contribution by the Port Townsend Paper Corporation.
The judges of the Port Townsend Film Festival announced their top four picks for best in show at a Gala Champagne Breakfast Sunday morning September 25, 2005. While the festival strives for quality in every film, the awards were given to select features that stood out in their field.
- Best Feature-length Narrative $2,500 - "Hank Williams First Nation" directed by Aaron J. Sorensen
- Best Feature-length Documentary $2,500 - "The Devil's Miner" co-directed by Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani
- Best Short Narrative $750 - "The Perils of Nude Modeling" directed by Scott Rice
- Best Short Documentary $750 - "Trout Grass" directed by Ed George
Scholarship
2004 was also the first year PTFF gave two $250 scholarships to Jefferson County High School students who demonstrated both creative and technical skill as well as an interest in pursuing a career in film/video. In 2005, PTFF will offer two $300 scholarships. Your donations, and all your tips at the Taylor Street Beer Garden, help make these scholarships possible.
