HD Deffies

Update: HDFEST 2008 Deffie Awards will include new awards specifically recognizing achievement in HDV filmmaking.

Each year of the festival, the festival awards the annual HDFEST Deffie Awards recognizing accomplishments in High-Definition Filmmaking. Quickly the Deffies are emerging as one of the most coveted awards for the visionaries who have adopted this powerful technology.

The winners of each category will receive a HDFEST Deffie statue (and additional filmmaking software prizes)
