Brave Blue World – Tim Neeves

~ Outstanding Achievement ~
The Widow – Brendan Young
Brendan Young (Australia), The Widow, Film Short – Melbourne, Australia in 1965, a Sicilian widow fights for her life when members of the local Calabrian mafia murder her husband and try to seize control of his business. The Widow is a unique crime film with depth and layers of emotions guiding the action. Young’s deft direction created a film that is more a doomed romance, set against a crime milieu rather than a bunch of tough talking thugs shooting each other. Meticulous attention to details of period and dialects. A fresh take on the genre with the lead being a mature, poised and elegant woman who is driven to extremes. Powerful and nuanced performances by the excellent Daniela Farinacci (Lantana) and Steve Bastoni (Matrix Reloaded) with a seasoned cast. Stars: Vince D’Amico, Frank Lotito, Joe Petruzzi, Luke Ryan. God forgives…Sicilian women don’t!
