Film Independent, the non-profit organization that champions independent filmmakers announced yesterday that TEST from Writer/Director Chris Mason Johnson and Producer Chris Martin has been nominated for the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award, which is given to the best feature film made for under $500,000. Distributed by Wolfe Video, TEST is currently available on DVD as well as streaming and download on iTunes, WolfeOnDemand and other digital platforms. The 30th Film Independent Spirit Awards ceremony is set to take place on February 21, 2015 in Santa Monica, CA. The show will air live on IFC.
Featuring standout performances from newcomer Scott Marlowe and Matthew Risch (HBO’s “Looking”), Test premiered at the Berlin Panorama and took home both the Best Screenplay and Best U.S. Feature Awards at LA's Outfest, as well as being hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick. Test was also the recipient of the San Francisco Film Society’s KRF Filmmaking Grant in 2013.
“Releasing accomplished films like Test is our reason for being,” says Wolfe president Maria Lynn. “We’re extremely proud of Chris and grateful to everyone at Film Independent for the amazing work they do supporting filmmakers."
