At the CineVegas Film Festival this year, the festival will be partnering with Planet Illogica to give an award for Excellence in New Media.  This year will be the first year for the award, which will be given to Kellee Santiago and Jenova Chen. 

We are so honored to be chosen for this award. Few people know, but I (Kellee) was inspired to pursue a career in interactive media by the incredible NYC experimental theatre group, The Wooster Group, of which Willem Dafoe is a founding member.  So this is a “woah, look how far we’ve come” moment. 

Unfortunately, I’m unable to attend due to a speaking engagement at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas (info on that to come), but Jenova will be there to represent and pass along on thanks to everyone involved!
