Jerry would have a hard time toting around all the awards he’s snagged.

The indie film My Name Is Jerry recently walked away with three awards at the International Filmmakers’ Film Festival in Kent, England.

The film, directed by Morgan Mead, was shot last year by BSU students and industry pros on location at Muncie locales, including Dan’s Downtown Records and Doc’s. It was produced by Ball State’s College of Fine Arts, the Institute for Digital Entertainment and Education at Ball State and Clothespin Films.

The film won the Best Picture award, the Best Supporting Actress Award (for Katherine Hicks) and the Best Soundtrack award (for Rick DiGiallonardo of BSU).

Jerry, which stars BSU alum Doug Jones, was also nominated in the Best Director and Best Lead Actor categories.

“Jerry walked away with more awards than any other nominated film for the festival,” said Rodger Smith of IDEE. “They had over 400 submissions from around the world.”

Smith attended the festival.

“It was a great festival and we are pleased to have been selected for awards and for the opportunity to introduce the city of Muncie and the support we had here to the world,” he said.

Jerry’s other recent awards include Best Feature Comedy at this year’s Route 66 Festival and a feature spot at this year’s Heartland Film Festival in Indy.
