Terry obsessively focused on films, and loved shots that have frames within the frame – mirrors, doorways, windows … Sam hopes Jordan will find a way to honor Terry’s memory by making a film, instead of staying in a very dark place. 2nd Place - Folded, by Elaine Kuracina, Potsdam, NY, Directed by Greg Earnest. An artist is painting a figure. The figure talks back to the artist - in search of a dream, a dimension, a future in forever 3rd Place - Spooked, by Joe Godfrey, Woodbury CT.
