PlanetOut.com, the gay online film site, announced Monday that two films, a drama and a documentary, had tied for the $10,000 Grand Prize in its second annual Short Movie Awards contest. Aaron Walker won for the dramatic short Summer Light and Eva Saks, for the documentary Family Values. PlanetOut.com’s Jenni Olson said in a statement, “We’re thrilled to reward talented queer short moviemakers resources while offering our customers access to media they just can’t get in their hometowns.” The awards will be presented during the 10-day Outfest: The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, which opens July 12.
