SANCTUARY

HIGH SCHOOL CATEGORY: GRAND JURY PRIZE - BEST OF FESTIVAL

L-J ShenFilerman

9 min | Arlington MA | 2020 | World Premiere 

Jury Statement: Technically not a script, but each person interviewed gets their point across clearly, and the film is amazingly easy to follow. Gives that perfectly tense, horror-movie feeling. Incredibly well-mixed, and the background music is a perfect fit.

The film follows the Arlington mandated stay-at-home order. A young man’s criminal past catches up to him and exposes him to unforeseen danger.
