Abe Forsythe, winner of Tropfest 2010

We knew they were ones to watch when we crowned them our Grand Prize winners in Barcelona last week and we were right – filmmaking team Abe Forsythe and Matt Reeder have just been awarded first prize in the Sydney Movie Extra Tropfest short film festival.

This is a huge honour for the pair. Tropfest is the biggest short film festival in the world and an estimated 150,000 people saw the finalists. Abe and Matt get a whole host of prizes including a trip to LA to meet with agents and executives. Well done to both of them.
