CONGRATULATIONS!

We are thrilled to announce that filmmaker, PETE HENDERSON, has been selected as the recipient of the very first Cabbagetown Short Film Festival’s SMART SHORT AWARD!

Pete’s proposal, Every Goddamn Day, impressed the jury with its dark humour and clear vision, cleverly expressing the existential angst shared by a man and his dog.
