Independent Spirit Awards ballots

On Saturday, I went to Tribeca Cinemas to see Man Push Cart and American Gun. They were part of Film Independent's Spirit Awards screenings.

Ramin Bahrani, director of Man Push Cart, as well as its star, Ahmed Rasvi, were present after the film for a Q&A. Aric Avelino, the director of American Gun, and its screenwriter,
Steven Bagatourian, were also there after the film for a Q&A.

Man Push Cart is nominated for Best Firt Feature, Best Male Lead (Ahmed Rasvi) and Best Cinemtography (Michael Simmonds).

American Gun is nominated for Best Feature, Best Male Lead (Forest Whitaker) and Best Supporting Female (Marcia Gay Harden).

If you are a member of Film Independent or IFP, and you have received your ballot, ballots must be postmarked by February 10, 2007.
