May 21, 2013 - The Attic Film Festival, or TAFF, is an independent Film Festival held each spring in Austin, TX. Their mission is to support and empower independent filmmakers around the world.
"Crossroad" — in which a father sets up a meeting with the murderer of his wife and child inside a diner with plans of killing him — won the top prize at the Attic Film Festival in 2013.
"This movie doesn't let you off easy, it makes you think, it makes you work - and in a day and age where films require no intellectual investment from the audience, I was pleasantly surprised to see the film win Best Feature Film. It's great encouragement to continue making meaningful, deep films that push the limit." says Writer/Director, Shervin Youssefian.
"Crossroad" has received praise for its intricate story-line and mature look at the subject of forgiveness despite all odds. The revenge theme flows through a canvas of sub-stories connecting 12 characters, each with an individual motive and resolution.
The Attic Film Fest honored "Crossroad" as its recipient of the 2013 Best Feature Film award. "Crossroad" also received the Best Actor award for Philip Bulcock's work as the tormented father who is torn between plans of revenge and forgiveness. "Bulcock, an English actor, had to work with some very heavy material and rather than wearing all those emotions on his sleeve, he opted to let all the anguish boil under the surface." says Youssefian.
Indeed, the result is a performance you cannot take your eyes off.
Youssefian received Best Screenplay award for a story which he penned within only 2 months.
When asked what else the team as in the works, the writer/director remains very hush-hush, but says this much. "Much like Crossroad, we hope that it keeps you guessing what will happen next and ultimately allow you to walk out of the theater inspired and changed for the better."
