Short films Two Sands and In Australia have snared the lion’s share of nominations for the Wa Screen Culture Awards, recognised across both the innovation and outstanding achievement award categories.
Now in its second year, the WASCAs are presented and produced by the Revelation Perth International Film Festival, in collaboration with the Wa screen industry, to recognise new, established, and emerging screen practitioners across a variety of disciplines.
Of this year’s nominees, Poppy van Oorde-Grainger’s Two Sands is the most represented with eight nods, while Miley Tunnecliffe’s In Australia has seven.
There is also good news for Rush Films, with Gracie Otto’s Under the Volcano, Frances Elliott and Samantha Marlow’s Girl Like You, and Jacqueline Pelczar’s Sparkles all scoring multiple nominations.
Revelation Film Festival director Richard Sowada said he couldn’t wait to reveal the deliberations of the 36 screen professionals that make up the jury for the awards.
