Just because some filmmakers were not honored at the gala awards ceremony Saturday night inside a Grand Californian Hotel ballroom, it does not mean the Anaheim International Film Festival was done dishing out trophies.
Due to "technical difficulties," a list of audience favorites did not reach the
Weekly's inbox until yesterday afternoon (though the fest says it originally went out Monday night).
Whatevs.
