Dirty Step Upstage accepted into another festival
July 18th, 2010Funday Sundays is a diversion from the rest of the week.
We’ve had a lot of movement on the film festival front. Last week Dirty Step Upstage won Best of Show: Feature Film at The Accolade Competition. And I’ve just found out that Route 66 Film Festival will be showing Dirty Step Upstage on September 17 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in Springfield, Illinois. Moviemaker magazine listed the Route 66 Film Festival as one of the 25 festivals worth the entry fee.
The Route 66 Film Festival began in 2002 as a part of the Mother Road Festival celebrating the vehicles and history of the famous highway. Their mission is to support and recognize independent filmmakers of all ages and backgrounds. The general theme of the festival is journey, whether emotional, physical, spiritual or personal. And Dirty Step Upstage has been quite the journey.
Teaser and trailer follow…

Funday Sunday indeed. I received a letter from The Accolade Competition announcing that Dirty Step Upstage won Best Of Show, with the quote:
DIRECTOR AMBER MOELTER EXHIBITS UNIQUE VISION AND APPROACH.
The Accolade awards go to “filmmakers, television producers and videographers who produce fresh, standout entertainment and compelling documentaries. The Accolade is an international awards competition that honors those who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity.”
Dirty Step Upstage was was one of four films to be bestowed this honor, the other were: Columbia college short film ”Final Revision” , music video ”The Me You See”, and Australian comedy program “Wilfred – Series 2″.
The letter from Accolade says:
You can be justifiably proud of winning an Accolade. The judging standards are high and winning means the craft and creativity exhibited by your entry is outstanding and stands above other productions.
Many thanks go to my amazing cast and crew, without which this wouldn’t have been possible.
