The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) sponsored by @UGG announced the winners of its annual 10-10-10 (Ten Directors – Ten Writers – Ten Films) Screenwriting and Filmmaking Competition. For the last five months students were paired with mentors from the filmmaking industry and professions culminating in professional-quality produced short films.

SBIFF Educational Director, Amanda Graves, poignantly stated, “Even with the fires, the evacuations and the mudslide all teams delivered films.” Graves read off all participants including cast and crew members by name including founders the 10-10-10 Competition Co-Founders, Guy Smith and Michael Stinson and thanked Mary Beth Riordan for sponsoring the competition every year since its inception.
