A Fredericton filmmaker has won a national short film competition for her story about a newcomer's struggles with isolation after moving to New Brunswick. Arianna Martinez's Maya Eterna was voted the best short in the annual Short Film Face Off, which aired Saturday on CBC. This is the first time in 10 years that a New Brunswick film has been showcased at the Short Film Face Off. "It's really validating to have the work that so many New Brunswickers helped create be seen on a national level." Meet our Short Film Face Off Champion, “Maya Eterna” directed by Arianna Martinez!
They take home the Telefilm Canada $30,000 cash prize!
Thank you to all our filmmakers for participating this year.
