Elliot wins another award
Oscar-winning gay director Adam Elliot picked up a 2009 Inside Film Award last week. Mary and Max, Elliot’s first feature film which opened this year’s Sundance Film Festival, took out the Best Production. The claymation film detailed the long-distance penfriendship between an ostracised Melbourne schoolgirl (Mary) and a middle-aged New York man with Asperger’s (Max).
