Carl Colapert‘s G.I. Jesus, which I described last week as “the first truly exceptional Cinevegas film I’ve seen”, has been handed the Cinevegas Grand Jury Prize. The hander-outers were director Mark Pellington (Mothman Prophecies ) and film critics Jean Oppenheimer and F.X. Feeney. The negligible Park won the Audience Award, 5 Up 2 Down won a Special Award for Cinematography, and two films were given Homrable Mention status — The Favor (a pretty good ABC After-School Special film) and The 4th Dimension (missed it, heard pretty good things, would have watched if on DVD it Cinevegas (a) had DVDs to loan to critics and (b) had facilities for watching them).
