"Conversion" at Cannes

 It won't be up for the Palmes d'Or - but who needs that after winning the 2009 Boston 48 Hour Film Festival Best Picture prize? However local film studio Glasseye Productions "Conversion" did make an appearance this afternoon as part of Le Marche du Film in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Not only did "Conversion" win the 48 Hour Best Picture Award, by the way, but it also won Best Director, Cinematography, Script and Ensemble Acting, the latter no doubt due to the thespian talents of cast members Kevin Banks, Associate Design Director here at the "Phoenix," and former "Phoenix" staff writer Sara Faith Alterman.
