Closing the curtain on our 16th annual Doppelgänger Film Festival. From the bottom of our hearts, Brahma Cinematics would like to thank everyone who joined us for the event. We couldn't have done it without all of the filmmakers, crew members, staff, and attendees!
All winners from the night are listed below alongside the category, nominee, and runners-up submissions. Eye Opener winners will also receive their $500 scholarship in the coming week.
