The film Torn Asunder featuring THE PURPLE BUBBLE, has been awarded with an Honorable Mention at the Accolade Competition in California, and is going to be featured at the D.C. Indie Film Festival in our nation's capital on March 15th, 2008.
"Torn Asunder is a fascinating short film with thought-provoking content relevant for this period of political unrest. It's well-crafted with an impressionistic collage of images and a potent sound track designed to heighten the message. The best films are always about storytelling; and creator Bob Barancik effectively captures the frayed American national psyche. This award-winning little film could become one of the most watched films on the internet." Thomas Baker, Ph.D., Coordinator, Accolade Competition.
