Simple Twist of Fate: BLIND FATE



Last years ScreenLabs Challenge had the theme "a simple twist of fate" and the location for shooting was the Stone Arch Bridge. One of the short films the jury and audiences so admired last year was BLIND FATE by Garth Berquist and Mark Lyons.

In a very simple fashion, Garth and Mark took the challenge to heart and wrote a tight and efficient script that simply met all the criteria. Most of the scenes in the film occur on the Stone Arch Bridge of which they made maximum and essential use in relation to the story. The bridge was a key player in the fate of the characters and the story.

And the twist was classic in their story with the reveal coming at the end. BLIND FATE took home two awards -- The Jury Prize: Runner Up and Audience Award as voted by internet viewers from all across the U.S.
