Dian Weys’ drama Vultures clutched top honors at HollyShorts Sunday evening, winning the prestigious festival’s Grand Jury Prize for Best Short Film. The award qualifies the film for Oscar consideration and comes with a prize of a $60,000 Panavision camera package.
Edwin van der Walt, Jill Levenberg, and Albert Pretorius star in the 15-minute-long short from the South African-born filmmaker. Logline: “In the volatile moments after a car crash, before the authorities arrive, a hot-headed yet desperate tow truck driver fiercely protects his tow. But the situation quickly spirals out of his control.”
