August 1, 2017 By Carl Burgess Leave a Comment

The nominations for the first annual Screen Critix awards have been announced, showcasing the very best independent features and short films reviewed by Screen Critix over the last twelve months.

Put on your designer dresses and smart tuxedos, for we have announced this year’s nominations for the annual Screen Critix awards.
