Fraud Film Wins Kudos
Wednesday, August 6th, 2003 FraudShort subject films generally get limited play in art houses and smaller theatres, but the makers of a not exactly cinema verité film about an insurance scam say they may have found an insurance industry audience as well. A publicity spokesperson for the film, "Blanston," said it wasn't created for the industry, but it was made with assistance from a technical advisor, David Beacom an investigator for Xcel Energy of Minneapolis and the script writer/ director Jamin Winans took pains to make it accurate. Double-Edge Films of Denver, the makers of the 29-minute movie, won four stars for their film from the Filmthreat Web site, which called it a "taut, well written little film" and the Denver Post called it "visually crisp, beautifully shot."
