2009 Gasparilla Film Fest Winners
(released 3/16/2009; archived 3/31/2009)
By Douglas Lorah

The Gasparilla Film Festival was able to bring in a few more names to this year's festival.  The biggest name was Armand Assante.  They also brought in a screen legend from the black and white days Terry Moore and writer/producer/director Rod Lurie.

One aspect that most festivals neglect is taking care of the local filmmakers.  Gasparilla did not.  They used locally produced films as one focus and some of them even won awards.

Here are all the winners from the 2009 Gasparilla Film Festival.
