Atlantan wins $100,000 for short film

John Gray of Atlanta has been awarded $100,000 by the Doorpost Film Project for his short film “Before I Wake,” in which a man confronts past sexual abuse. Another short film by Gray, “Freedom to Live, ” which looks at the physically abusive relationship between a white husband and an African-American wife, got him into the finals earlier this summer. It was the prize for that film that earned him $10,000 to make his latest short film about hope and redemption.

Doorpost is an international online short filmmaking community that discovers filmmakers who inspire and influence rather than just entertain. In addition to the $100,000 prize, Gray will get the chance to meet with executives at movie studios in Los Angeles. He picked up his award at a ceremony last week in Nashville.
