I wasn’t expecting winners to be announced for another week, so imagine my surprise when Ben Guaraldi, producer of the Boston 48 Hour Film Project, announced the winners of the Boston competition this evening, which had “Breathe Again” being recognized with 4 awards, the most for any film!!

“Breathe Again” was awarded the Second Runner Up for Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Sound Design awards. While it’s hard not to want the coveted “best film” spot, this is an incredible showing and exciting recognition for a team that had never participated in a 48 Hour Film competition, beating out previous 48 Hour award alums. A big congratulations to the cast and crew on an exciting end to our first 48 hour run.
