The short animation The Not-So-Great Eugene Green has scooped up 3 Awards at the In The Bin Short Film Festival in QLD, where it won Best Animation, Best Sound Design (Markus Kellow) and Best Production Values.  Director Michael Hill and Producer Melanie Brunt are thrilled as this is the first award for the animation, which premiered in June 2009 at the Sydney Film Festival.

This marks the third win for Melanie Brunt at this festival; the short film Dugong which she produced won Best Film, Best Actor (Luke Elliot) and Best Actress (Sue Jones) in 2008; and her VCA film Rain, which she wrote, directed and edited won Best Film there in 2001.

The Not-So-Great Eugene Green has been nominated for a AFI Award for Best Animation, and will screen in Adelaide at the Shorts Film Festival in December.
