Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Short Filmmaking 

Short films often represent nonfiction filmmaking at its most pure: a single subject or a single idea explored at just the right length. This award recognizes those films that find the balance of running time and artistry. The previous winner in this category was Vance Malone’s THE POODLE TRAINER.
