Audience members at the 2011 Oxford Film Festival Awards Show got a surprise preview of Matthew Graves’ latest film “Oh, Christmas Triage”.  The Christmas-themed short comedy was directed and co-written by Graves, a long time member of the production staff at OFF, as well as a contributing filmmaker.  The short played just before the awards ceremony to a packed house was received with enthusiastic laughs from the crowd of over 225.  It was the perfect start to 2011 ceremony, which once again featured some of the best and brightest films and filmmakers working in independent cinema today.

The Oxford Film Festival says “thank you” to Matthew Graves, Andy Harper, and everyone at Media and Documentary Projects for sharing this film with us, and for their hard work behind the scenes to make the festival run smoothly.

Congratulations to our winners!
