For the third straight year, The Viewfinder Podcast is thrilled to bring you a recap of the annual Louisiana Film Prize. Held each October in Shreveport, and with a brilliant series of short films and filmmakers competing for the event's grand prize of $25,000, the 2023 edition of Film Prize again showcased the excellence and talent of the Pelican State's independent film community.
In this year's top 5 films is CAUGHT ON TAPE, directed and co-written by Chris Alan Evans and Prize Fest veteran Alexander Jeffery, and co-starring Finnegan Collins as Finn, a teenager who constantly stumbles every time he tries to verbally express his feelings for his would-be girlfriend (played by Carolanne Adams).
With his friends advising him that watching X-rated movies will boost his confidence, Finn discovers a well-hidden porno tape at the home of his dad (played by Evans). Though mesmerized at first, Finn ultimately learns that unlike the fake and way-too-mature sexual foreplay he watches on TV, there’s nothing that compares to real romance and human companionship.
See more amazing indie short films, including several past Film Prize entrants such as PEEPING TODD and Jeffery's 2015 Prize-winning THE BESPOKE TAILORING OF MR. BELLAMY, on Crafty:
