2009 Tropfest Winners Announced

Posted Date: 23 February 2009 at 09:34:48AM

Congratulations to Genevieve Clay who received her award for Best Film at last night's Tropfest. Her film, 'Be My Brother', about a Down's Syndrome man who quotes Shakespeare to a young woman at a bus stop, while trying to win the attention of his brother, is a touching story that won over the entire audience and, of course, the judges. The Best Actor award went to the star of 'Be My Brother', Gerard O'Duyes for his comedic and warm performance. Genevieve explained on The Morning Show today that Gerard inspired her so much that she created the concept and film just for him.
