SHOOTING DOGS WINS TOP HONOURS AT THE HEARTLAND FILM FESTIVAL, INDIANAPOLIS.

Last week, SHOOTING DOGS was awarded the 2006 Grand Prize and $100,000 at The Crystal Heart Awards Gala, the climax of the Heartland Film Festival. The film's writer David Wolstencroft was presented with the award by legendary actor Jon Voight. This is a particularly significant award for the film with the US release now scheduled for early 2007.

The Heartland Film Festival takes place every October in Indianapolis, aiming to recognise and honour filmmakers whose work explores the human journey by artistically expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life. This year, the biggest crowd in Festival history gathered to honour those special films that enrich and inspire their audiences.
