THE TREATY
was honored as the BEST SHORT FILM at the 2003 Midwest
Entertainment Industry Conference in Lexington, Kentucky. The
MEIC is the nation's FIRST non-profit entertainment industry
conference. The conference is an annual convergence of
national entertainment industry personnel representing a wide
spectrum of companies and services within the entertainment
industry, and artists from the worlds of film, music, game
development, and publishing.
THE TREATY also made
its international debut at the Bahamas One World Film
Festival where it received the Vision In Excellence Award.
The Fest showcased films from LA to Australia and
everywhere in between. THE TREATY Producer Michael
Misconi, Director Mike Horan, and EMMY Award-Winning Director
of Photography Thomas Mumme traveled to Nassau to
participate in the inaugural event. In an interview, the trio
told Indiewire.com, “It (was) a film festival for filmmakers,
as we were able to spend a lot of time together and exchange
thoughts and experiences.”
Lastly, THE TREATY showed
at the Ohio Independent Film Festival in Cleveland. The
Ohio Independent Film Festival & Market is an annual event
and the leading showcase in Ohio for international independent
shorts and feature-length films.
THE TREATY tells
the story of Joe (Ryan Smith), a corporate underachiever who
discovers that his soul is owned by the Devil in an
agreement between Heaven and Hell. When the consequences
of his actions come to light, Joe struggles to find
redemption. The 19-minute Super 16 mm film was shot entirely
on location in Gainesville, Florida with an all Florida
crew and gear supplied by Adrenaline Film Productions in
Orlando.
THE TREATY has so far enjoyed a successful
festival run, winning Best Film at the Melbourne
Independent Filmmakers Festival, an Award of Merit at New
York’s Domani Visionfest, Honorable Mention for Best
Narrative at the Carolina Film & Video Festival, and as an
Official Selection of the Ft. Lauderdale International

Orlando, the Great Lakes Film Festival in Erie, Pennsylvania
and the Da-Vinci Film and Video Festival in Corvallis,
Oregon.
