George Magee holds the Audience Favorite award, Gibby Ramirez with his Best Editing award, Amber Salazar holds her brother Eric's Best Supporting Actor award and Edward Cordero holds his Best Director award, all for Finding Cochino.

I just got home from the after party celebrating our short film Finding Cochino and its sweep at the 36 Hour Film Race awards ceremony at CineSol Film Festival last night.

We won a total of five awards including a special award they created specifically for Eric Salazar. Here they are:

Best Film – Finding Cochino
Audience Favorite – Finding Cochino
Best Supporting Actor, Male – Eric Salazar
Best Director, Comedy – Edward Cordero
Best Editing – Gibby Ramirez

Erick Trevino holds the Bravo Award for Best Film at Cinesol's 36 hour film race for Finding Cochino.

I’m stoked, man! I didn’t win for cinematography but that’s ok considering we won best film and audience favorite…that pretty much means we all kicked ass. This of course means we’ll need to crank it up again next year, but we’ll be ready.
