REPROGRAMMED WON! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

FROM DEADLINE!

… Christopher Guerrero being revealed as the winner of the $2,500 Audience Award, voted for by the public. Both winners received their prizes during an invitation-only ceremony at the renowned art fair.

Realized in collaboration with non-profit Ghetto Film School and film and TV studio Fifth Season, the Frieze Los Angeles Film Award is recognized within the industry as an incubator for next-generation talent. Since its launch in 2019, the initiative has supported over 40 fellows, providing a platform for emerging voices in filmmaking.

Guerrero’s film Reprogrammed is set in a retro-futuristic Los Angeles, where Andrea, a lonely roboticist, has sacrificed everything to complete her masterpiece: IRIS, the “Integrated Reactive Intelligence System.” When IRIS comes to life, Andrea must teach her creation what it means to be sentient—only to realize she must also mend her own fractured relationship with her father.

“Frieze Los Angeles, taking place in the home and heart of the film industry, is celebrating the sixth Deutsche Bank Film Award this year,” noted Frieze Director of Americas Messineo in a statement to Deadline. “Now it is more important than ever to foster opportunities for emerging talent, and that impact can be seen in the work of this year’s remarkable filmmakers.”
