“Mole-Richardson Company is proud to be counted among the first and most loyal sponsors of the Angelus Student Film Festival. Many of the students who submit their films, as well as those who attend the event, are considered potential customers. They represent our future. We value them for their commitment to our craft and for their part in developing films that honor us all. We are committed to doing all that we can to assist them in their efforts to become the next generation of filmmakers in Hollywood. I highly recommend sponsoring the Angelus Student Film Festival. Being a sponsor provides wonderful returns to everyone associated with it.

“When a student filmmaker sets out to produce a film that intends to send a positive message, he or she takes risks. They push for meaning, symbol, and emotion in storytelling instead of cheap tricks, convenient humor, and standard loglines. They take responsibility for what they make. This is a festival that encourages students to push these boundaries by celebrating the triumph of the human spirit and dignity in mankind. This is not easy when a student sees himself or herself entering in an industry that’s accustomed to telling stories that rely on gratuitous sex and violence. The response that my film had at the festival was overwhelming. Since receiving an award from the Angelus Awards, it’s become a badge of honor that’s encouraged me to continue and it’s given me the confidence to tell the stories I want to tell.”

“We support the Angelus Student Film Festival because it not only honors today’s most talented young filmmakers, but provides a forum that truly honors the human spirit.”

The Angelus Awards are unique. They are not another feather in the cap of a successful film school graduate with a well-made short film. The people involved with the organization truly care about filmmakers, the art of filmmaking, and help nurture the career of people who are making movies that help change the world. I am forever indebted to them for helping push my own career forward, and for introducing me to many other filmmakers with similar goals as storytellers.
