The 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival’s “Hollywood Awards” ceremony was held last night before a standing-room-only audience of over 1,100 Hollywood Film Festival attendees at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The winners of the festival’s film competition were announced Sunday night at the Hollywood Discovery Awards Presentation Ceremony at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood. This year’s winners are:

• “CROSSING” by Kim Tae-kyun — Best Feature Film
• “GARBAGE DREAMS” by Mai Iskander — Best Documentary
• “SCENESTERS” by Todd Berger — Best Comedy
• “STORIES FROM THE PERCH” by Andrew Zimbelman — Best Animation
• “LAMBS” by Stephen Huff — Best Short Subject
• “AS I LAY DYING – THE SOUND OF TRUTH” by Brian Thompson — Best Music Video

AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis comments on the win,

“The Sound of Truth video could not have been made without an entire team of amazing people. It was a combination of two individually complex forms of art that came together seamlessly to create one great video I’m very proud of. The basic concept is related to the music and lyrics that we wrote, but Brian Thompson and his whole crew took that beyond what we could have imagined.”

Directed by Brian Thompson, who helmed their futuristic clip for “Nothing Left,” the video for “The Sound of Truth” was made at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA and is a continuation of the story the first video initiated. Like its predecessor, the story for this video was conceived by the band, fine-tuned by director Brian Thompson, and displays the irony and hypocrisy that takes place in a decaying futuristic society.
