32 people crammed into the main floor studio of Macaulay House on Saturday night, April 25th to view 25 films by 21 filmmakers in the 1st Annual Dawson City 1 Minute Film Challenge.

Initiated by Artists in Residence Scott Amos and Rozalind MacPhail, the crowd was treated to some beautiful, weird, whacky and hilarious entries.

There were even "Golden Reel" and Free Store Construction Awards, that went to Amy-Lynn Karchut, Rachel Wiegers & Tara Rudnickas, Lulu Keating & Veroncia Verkley, David H. Fraser, David Curtis, Karen MacKay, Rozalind MacPhail, Suzanne Crocker and Kathryn Bruce!

Other participants were Scott Amos, ChrisClarke, Tara Rudnickas, Jessie Currell Ben Rudis, Charles Stankeivich and Dan Sokolowski.

Look for this event to take place during the 2010 Dawson City International Short Film Festival.
