The Berlin International Film Festival came to a close on the weekend and AFTRS graduate Hannah Hilliard's (Directing, 2007) short Franswa Sharl was awarded the Crystal Bear for Best Short Film.
The jury said "We couldn't help laughing when we saw this charming and funny story based on a true story. Non-stop fun! For a moment we forgot the world around us."
Congratulations Hannah and all of the other AFTRS grads who worked on Franswa Sharl: Judd Overton (Cinematography, 2004), Amanda Brown (Screen Composition, 2000), Ceinwen Berry (Editing, 2007), Natalie Beak (Design, 2007) and Liam Egan (Sound, 1987).
