裹入, a comedy about a young woman’s efforts to lose a clinging boyfriend, took the top prize at the 2012年红石电影节 Wednesday night. Written, directed, and edited by Maggie Kimball (COM’12), the quirky comedy had the packed house at the Tsai Performance Center laughing throughout its nine-minute run.

“I’m shocked I won. I was hoping for maybe third place,” said Kimball, who took home a $2,000 cash prize. “I think people could relate to my film because everyone’s gone through a crazy or bad breakup.” Kimball said the film would have “fallen to crap” if it weren’t for actors Alex Highsmith (CFA’11), Edmund Donovan (CFA’12), and Sydney Lemmon (CFA’12).

Second place went to Julian Cornwell (COM’10) and Harry Joseph (COM’10), directors of 漫漫归途, a suspenseful tale of two brothers who are on the run. 跑步者吉姆·丹迪（Jim Dandee）执导的剧情片《COM’2013》获得第三名。 The short film, about a young woman’s struggle with a haunting memory, was shot on Boston’s Esplanade.

“I thought all of the nominated films were strong,” said festival coordinator Jan Egleson, a College of Communication associate professor of the practice of film and television. “他们都很有趣，而且与众不同。 他们展示了波士顿大学擅长什么，以及我们擅长什么。”

第32届“红石电影节”由媒体大亨、维亚康姆（Viacom）董事长萨姆纳•雷石东（1994年出生）赞助，展示了在COM电影制作和剧本创作专业学习的本科生和澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究生创作的电影和剧本。 今年的比赛共有40部电影提交，其中6部被制作、编剧和电影专业毕业生组成的委员会认为是决赛入围者。

The festival winners were then selected by a panel of film industry professionals, made up this year of Carolyn Pickman, cofounder and director of CP选角和表演工作室; filmmaker Lyda Kuth, executive director of the 中位数的基础, a nonprofit that supports contemporary work in film; and 
filmmaker and cinematographer D’arcy Marsh.

弗莱德-罗森博格短片剧本大赛由编剧加里·弗莱德（COM ' 85）和斯科特·罗森博格（COM ' 85）赞助，获奖名单也在昨晚的电影节上公布。 Rachel Tesler (COM’13) won the $1,250 first place prize for her screenplay 走失的小狗, Julia Iglesias (COM’14) took the $750 second place award for 出来, and in third place was Samuel Laskey (COM’13), receiving $500 for 婴儿床.

In addition to the three winners, the finalists for the Fleder-Rosenberg competition were Jason Mark Hellerman (COM’12), 南希; Sharon Zemina (COM’12), 爱的叶子; Leah Thomas (COM’13), 如果我们影子冒犯了; and Joseph Dwyer (COM’13), 干净的副本.

今年新增的是艾德里安·雪莉制作补助金。 Shelly (COM’87), a producer, writer, and actress, was tragically 被谋杀的 in her New York City home in 2006. She was most famous for directing 女服务员, which played at the 2007 Sundance 电影 Festival.

Shelly’s husband, Andy Ostroy, executive director of the Adrienne Shelly基金会, attended last night’s Redstone Festival to award the first Adrienne Shelly Production Grant, which went to Kim Rideout (COM’12) for her script 丢脸。 Rideout will use the $5,000 prize to produce the film in her Production III class.

COM副教授兼系主任保罗·施耐德（Paul Schneider）指出，电影、剧本和新设的阿德里安娜·雪莉制作奖这三个类别的最高奖项都被女性获得。 施耐德说，他希望在COM的顶级制作班看到更多的女性。

波士顿红石电影节（Boston Redstone 电影 Festival）之后，纽约和洛杉矶的红石电影节（Redstone Festival）也将于3月举行。 新的和不同的电影将在这些电影节上竞争。 The 红石校友短片比赛, started last year, is open to film and television alumni. 获奖影片将与入围学生竞赛的影片一起在洛杉矶放映。 今年的校友获胜者将获得500美元。
