Emilee Harris wins Breakout Female Action Star of the Year (Short) at the 4th Annual Action on film Festival!

Congratulations Emilee from all of us at Not Afraid! You deserve the accolades! Now we can slap some laurels on the film and call it an “Award-winning Short.” 

In all seriousness, MERCY was nominated for 3 AOFF awards, and two for Emilee herself, so we’re honored to have our star take one home.  Much thanks to our other nominees Dave Marks and The Dave Rayburn Project.  We’re sorry you didn’t win, but appreciate your contributions to the project.

MERCY has received three Action on Film Festival award nominations, with two going to MERCY herself, Emilee Harris. She was nominated for both:

• Female Breakout Action Star -Short
• Female Action Performer of the Year

Congratulations Emilee, you deserve the recognition for your hard work portraying and creating, MERCY .

In addition, Tony went to great lengths to ensure we had top notch original music as part of the MERCY experience, getting original songs like “Crying on The Floor” written by Gary Fitch and performed by The Dave Rayburn Project, and “Audra’s Lullaby” written by composer Dave Marks and performed by Dave with vocals by Rosalie Deighton . This effort was also recognized by the festival with our third nomination for:

• Best Soundtrack – Short

Congratulations to you all, and we hope to see you at the World Premiere on July 26, 2008 at 10PM at the Laemmle Theater at One Colorado Blvd. in Old Pasadena CA. Tickets can be purchased here.
