EAST COUNTY FILMMAKER BENJAMIN HOWARD SWEEPS SAN DIEGO FILM AWARDS WITH BIOPIC-LIKE FEATURE ‘RILEY’

By Michael Howard

July 27, 2024 (San Diego) – For a filmmaker, making your first full-length feature film is a milestone worthy of celebration upon its own merits. It usually has meant years of short films, social media clips, and late-night editing sessions that slowly builds your confidence to finally take the plunge and produce a 90-to-120-minute story. 

But it’s a whole different celebration when that same first-time feature film sweeps your premier home-town film festival and wins best picture, direction, writing, editing, lead actor, supporting actor, cinematography, and musical score.
