The 2014 NoBudge Awards Winners
Joy Kevin The NoBudge Awards may not be as hotly anticipated as other statuettes doled out at this time of year, but Kentucker Audley’s annual selections are still well worth paying attention to, if not solely for the fact that you won’t find their winners anywhere else on the circuit. A quasi year in review of his own programming, the NoBudge Awards spotlight films that screened on the site for a minimum of thirty days. I’ll cop to not having seen most of these, but can recommend Joy Kevin, Whiffed Out and The Greggs. Another nice detail that sets this list apart is that Audley doesn’t differentiate between shorts and features. You can read a guest piece by Best Director, Jason Giampetro, here, and head to NoBudge to view the films.
