Thank you for purchasing a 2012 SURGE Film festival HERO pass!

Photo: 'Asphyxious' screenwriter and director Shawn June, standing in front of the Marquee after the Portland, Oregon screening of the SURGE films 'Free World' and 'Asphyxious' at the Historic Academy Theater. SHAWN JUNE was honored at the SURGE Film festival with the “Love & Encouragement” Award in Austin, Texas for his amazing film Asphyxious. He also received a stipend, housing costs and round-trip airfare from his home in Des Moines, Iowa to the screening of his film! This screening celebrated not only the Grand Finale of the Portland, Oregon portion of the 7 day SURGE Film festival, but it also marked the 2011 Grand Finale of the Fifth Annual International SURGE Film festival which ran for over 10 days nationwide in 2011 throughout Texas and Illionois! As always, admission was free of charge for everyone because everything in the world should be free! It is you, the SURGE HEROS, who make all of those achievements and impossibilities (free admission, fee waivers, grants, awards, multilingual access, over 10 days of films and screenplays nationwide and more)... possible! Thank you! We love all of you!
