Charlie & Yip Wins Best Trailer at NEXT Fest

My short film "Charlie and Yip" has won another festival award - Best Trailer at the NEXT Film Festival. 

 

Charlie and Yip is a short film about a kid who takes his pet to school for Show and Tell, which turns out to be a bad idea.  

It is a really a teaser for my indie feature film project "My Haunted House", which is still in development.
