Named above: nineteen wins and eight nominations, each one with the festival that gave it and the person who received it. IMDb's own totals across the two films are twenty wins and eleven nominations, counted by award round rather than by award, and one win in that total is not one we can put a festival to. We would rather show you the nineteen we can. Both films are listed on IMDb under their own titles.
That is a different scale from a class and we do not pretend otherwise.
Two of these are given and one is not, and we would rather be blunt about which. Every student in a term is filmed every week and is in what gets shot on the production days. That is included and it is not conditional on being good enough. A crewed Koevari Pictures short film is a different thing: it is cast by audition, the role has to be right, and if the right actor is not in our room we will look outside it. Nobody buys their way onto a set here, and no fee has ever included a part.
Across two productions, both cast entirely from FilmLab students, and every one of them named above. Eight further nominations.
Diana and Wired. Every student in them carries the credit.

After the shoot
Where the work goes
Finished films are submitted to external festivals through Koevari Pictures, and students come to the screenings. That is the whole point of shooting properly: the work has somewhere to go afterwards.

The films, and the episodes
Both cast entirely from students in this room. Teasers, and the two pilot episodes in full.
