Idle Mist XIX: Award Show Controversy

The teacher who didn't allow us to shoot Vana Espuma as a student film (thank you, I wouldn't own the rights otherwise!) and was a pain in the ass throughout witnessed the enthusiastic response the film received in its first screenings and decided without our knowledge to enter it into an award competition on our behalf. We only found out days before the ceremony when we were notified we had been nominated for all major awards.I wasn't much into dressing up or taking things too seriously so we showed up in jeans and t-shirts... Vana Espuma t-shirts, though. We were stopped at the entrance and as elegant and eminent people walked past us we had to explain we were invited and nominated, finally the guy at the door called his superior who called someone else who came saw our t-shirts, "You are the guys from Vana Espuma, you have to get in"! So we were finally allowed inside, maybe because this person already knew we'd have to accept the major awards on stage: Best Film, Best Screenplay and Catalina's Best Actress award.

Here are some pictures from the event and a better view at the t-shirt as modeled by Mr. Nicolas Useche, who in my book is always the best little brother winner.
