Yeardley winner BEST FEATURE at the 2010 Malibu International Film Festival

5.11.10  The 11th annual Malibu International Film Festival was held April 29th through May 1st 2010 at various upscale locations within the scenic Malibu beach community. This annual event, founded in 1999 by Producer David Katz with the support of philanthropist Lilly Lawrence, has grown into one of the most anticipated events of the film year. This year a total of seven awards were given by the festival.

This year’s BEST FEATURE winner was YEARDLEY,  a disturbing drama about a married narcissist becoming unhinged during the economic downturn. It was written and directed by Heath C. Michaels, produced by Paul Papadeas and stars Jesse Bernstein, Saskia Grace Holmes, Garrett Geoghegan, Rebecca Holopter, Madison Palasini and Dave Huevel.

This is the sixth festival for Yeardley. Yeardley left its world premiere at the Santa Fe Film Festival 2009 with a BEST PICTURE nomination along an elite list of films such as THE ONLY GOOD INDIAN starring Wes Studi and HANDSOME HARRY starring Steve Buscemi and Aidan Quinn. Yeardley won BEST ACTOR and BEST FEATURE 1st Runner Up at the 5th Annual Myrtle Beach International Film Festival and the PLATINUM REEL AWARD from the 2009 Nevada Film Festival.
