Many of these recipients have also had their creative work featured in theatres and home movies.
Award information and details for these recipients are stated by the Austin Film Society, "Awards are provided to artists whose work shows promise, skill, and creativity. Every August, an independent panel of highly esteemed professionals from the national film community convenes in Austin to review applications and administer awards. Award announcements are posted on our website at the conclusion of the panel session and grant disbursements are made in early September."
Jonaleros, a 30-minute documentary investigates human right rimes against Mexican labor workers and also reveals criminal charges against illegal immigrants. Nine undocumented immigrants will be interviewed from various parts of the United States.
