Short film The Maker triumphed at the Bondi Short Film Festival Awards on Saturday, walking away with four prizes, including Best Film and the People’s Choice Award.
The popular festival, now in its twelfth year, was held at the iconic Bondi Beach Pavilion in front of a sell-out crowd.
The list of 14 finalists was deliberated over by a well-known panel of judges from the flim and television industry, including Noni Hazlehurst, Christiaan Van Vuuren, Jessica Tovey, Kristy Best, Dr Ruth Harley and Andrew McFarlane.
Director of the Bondi Short Film Festival, Francis Coady said, "It is heartening to see such large crowds of people supporting independent Australian film year on year. We look forward to unearthing and presenting more wonderful films in 2013 and beyond.”
