Filmmaking is not a sport and should not be judged competitively. Many festivals give out awards but that is not the reason I look to screen at them. The need and interest in awards for film, certainly promoted by the big events such as the Academy Awards, grows in importance. Awards are sought by filmmakers hoping that recognition of this nature will help them get their foot into some important door, and perhaps sometimes it does. For this reason, many festivals promote the prize winning aspects of their events.
The following are some of the awards that I have documentation on having won:
2019 Testament of Frankenstitch Calcutta International Cult Film Festival award.
2018 Dali and Warhol Cult Critic Collection Project outstanding achievement award
