The Dolphins
Some people ask why Festival699 gives awards. No offense, but this is a stupid question. Everyone likes to have their work recognized.
What does the Dolphin Award symbolize? Have you ever seen a dolphin dive out of the water, so shiny, beautiful and free? We picked the dolphin because we wanted Festival699 to inspire our young filmmakers. Also they were only $3 at the Dollar Store.
Every director, every crew member, every actor who participates in Festival699 is like a dolphin diving out of the water for the first time. What’s more beautiful than that?
