On Saturday 22 February 2015, the 87th Academy Awards will take place, highlighting a year’s worth of skilled storytelling, breathtaking actors and amazing special effects. Raindance is not a stranger to Oscar nominees, having shown several films before they received their nominations or their wins! Here is a list of some of the past Oscar contenders and winners that have graced the Raindance screens, organized by the year they were nominated.
2006 – Six Shooter – Short Film (Live Action) – WON
2007 – My Country, My Country – Documentary (Feature) – NOMINATED
2008 – Once – Falling Slowly – Best Song – WON
Although not technically a win for the movie itself, we would be remiss if we did not mention its best song win.

2011 – Restrepo – Documentary (feature) – NOMINATED

Brett Welcher was a student at Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY, USA) where studied Public Relations at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. He is interned at the Raindance Film Festival the summer or 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed his time working with professionals and learning about different aspects of the film industry. In the fall of 2007 Brett returned to the States where he will be finishing his last year in school.
Since then we have lost touch and found this excellent article in the archives. Brett – if you see this, get in touch! We miss you!
