"Mojave Wins Best Feature At Wine Country Film Festival"

"Mojave Phone Booth" wins Best Indie Feature at the 2006 Wine Country Film Festival in Napa Valley, CA

Napa, CA (PRWEB) August 26, 2006 -- "Mojave Phone Booth," the story of four characters whose lives intersect with a mysterious phone booth in the desert, was awarded the Best Independent Feature Award at the Wine Country Film Festival.

“Mojave Phone Booth,” was directed by John Putch, who also produced the independent along with Jerry Rapp and Jerry Jacobs. The film was written by Rapp and Putch, and lensed by Keith Duggan.

Addressing the audience at the awards ceremony, Rapp thanked their sparse and multi-tasking crew, as well as festival directors Stephen and Justine Ashton and award sponsors Solano Magazine. "Thank you for supporting independent film and alternative voices," commented Rapp, "And please help yourself to Solano's generous repast of wine and cheeses."

"Mojave Phone Booth" included Annabeth Gish, Steve Guttenberg, Missi Pyle, Kevin Rahm, David Deluise and Robert Romanus in its ensemble cast. Guttenberg, who is perhaps most known for his roles in "Diner," "Cocoon," and "Three Men and a Baby," was praised for his turn as a Las Vegas player.

"Mojave Phone Booth" goes on to play several more festivals over the coming year, including Kansas International Film Festival and Calgary International Film Festival.
