More than a year ago, in late September 2024, my Star Wars fan film ‘The Path of the Greys’ (2018) won Best Short Film after being screened at the Cosmic Holler Film Fest in Kentucky, USA! The festival sent me this incredible trophy: a wooden plaque, hand-made and wood-burned by Foxfire and Ditchwater, featuring two Star Trek characters as rats!
Most festivals only send a digital laurel or certificate when you’ve won an award, so receiving a physical trophy all the way from Kentucky to the Netherlands is truly special. On top of that, it’s a unique piece of art — and my film’s title is even on it!
Huge thanks to the organizers of the Cosmic Holler Film Fest and to artist Ricky Reeves for this amazing gesture and for celebrating filmmakers in such an artistic, tangible way!
This is the final award the Greys have had the pleasure of receiving after an amazing film festival journey. My congratulations to the cast and crew on this achievement!
