Each year, LOVE YOUR WORK! showcases works by emerging and independent filmmakers, with audience members voting for their top five favourite films. Two industry awards were also presented this year – the Lemac Cinematography Encouragement Award, and the Music & Effects Award for Best Sound Design. These Awards are judged by Lemac and Music & Effects, respectively.
THE LAST DAYS OF CONNIE HAYS, directed and produced by 25 year-old Dana-Lee Mierowsky, was the first prize winner of the Audience Choice Awards. The film also garnered the Lemac Cinematography Encouragement Award for Director of Photography, Carl Robertson. LOVE YOUR WORK! gave audiences the first opportunity to view this tender and heartfelt short film.
