CAPE MAY — For the second year in a row, the Cape May Film Festival has won Best Film Festival in all of New Jersey, according to a People’s Choice Award sponsored by JerseyArts.com (a project of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and ArtPride New Jersey Foundation).
There were about 75 nominees in 15 different categories, and the Film Festival was up against five of its peers. “This award means more this year because the competition was much more aggressive to get the votes,” according to Gail Schmidtchen, president of the Cape May Film Festival.
“Last year, we won by hundreds of votes,” she recalls, “this year it was only by about 80! We actually had a last minute Facebook and email broadcast push, and that put us out in front! Thanks to everyone who voted.”
The Cape May Film Festival was the only Southern New Jersey arts program to take an award this year.
The 2010 Cape May Film Festival will be held Oct, 22-24, exclusively at the Chalfonte Hotel.
