Slamdance, Angel Baby Entertainment and Maverick Films will produce a feature film based on The Punished. Mosher will receive an upfront payment of $10,000 against 5% of the film's budget, plus net profits participation on the film and payments for any sequels.

The Kodak Vision Award For Best Cinematography went to Crooked Lake (aka Portage) cinematographers Sascha Drews and Ezra Krybus.
'Our stated goal of premiering new films by first-time writers and directors working within the creative confines of limited budgets remains intact, even as we dramatically grow each year, but it's all in support of our film-makers,' Slamdance president and co-founder Peter Baxter said. 'Shepherding bright new talent is the main reason for our existence, and we could not be happier that many of our film-maker's efforts are paying off.'
