A short film about a middle-aged online acquaintance "At Last" wins two international awards

LOS ANGELES - April 7, 2016 - EntSun -- The 12 Months Film Festival, an international film event for filmmakers from all continents, has chosen "At Last" as Fiction of the Month. The International Independent Film Awards named the film Narrative Short Gold Winner 2016.

"At Last" is a romantic comedy about a socially awkward middle-aged man. His online girlfriend unexpectedly turns up at his house with the clear intention to become physically intimate. The film was shot at one location in Los Angeles based on Skrypka's original idea and script.

"The characters represented in this story are very often left out from modern films. So we did our best to fill the gap, and keep the plot light and entertaining," says Skrypka.

Currently "At Last" is collecting awards and nominations around the globe, including Best Director (International New York Film Festival) and Best Comedy and Best Actor in Leading Role (The International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema Nice).
