All kinds of Edmonton film talent are nominated for Rosie Awards<\/a>, to be bestowed by the Alberta Media Production Industries Association<\/a> at a province-wide celebration of excellence on Nov. 7 in Calgary. Crip Trip<\/a> from Catapult Pictures<\/a> is up for an impressive 15 nominations, including best unscripted series and best production representing cultural diversity. The show follows the road-trip adventures of best friends Frederick Kroetsch and Daniel Ennett, the latter of whom is a four-limb amputee. The show has run for two seasons<\/a>. Work by Sticks & Stones<\/a> is nominated in 12 categories, many of them for The Secret Longtree Society, a documentary about a community convened by Dustin Bajer<\/a> to imagine a world where we plant trees that last 1,000 years (which was also adapted<\/a> into an Art Gallery of Alberta<\/a> exhibition).<\/p>\n

Sticks & Stones team member Colin Waugh is nominated in two categories for his work on St.Arnaud<\/a>‘s music video for Midwest Superstardom<\/a>. The music video race is dominated by Edmonton talent: Nuela Charles<\/a>‘s Life<\/a> from Calgary-based Brock Davis Mitchell Productions; Lyra Brown<\/a>‘s Shades of Blue<\/a> from Moving Artistry Productions<\/a>; Kaeley Jade<\/a>‘s The Ceiling<\/a> from Shoulda’ Danished Productions<\/a>; and A New Type of Gray<\/a> for Calling All Captains<\/a> from Crimson Curse Films.<\/p>\n

So many Edmonton artists and companies are nominated that we cannot name them all, but here are a few more in rapid succession: Score G Productions<\/a> with a total of 10 nominations for Bif Naked and Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story; Northern Gateway Films<\/a> with seven for My Final Victim and one for The Speech; and Omar Mouallem<\/a> with two, one for Nader’s Girl and the other for the Settle Down<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n
