Accolade Competition 2008 / Honorable Mention in Videography

Torn Asunder

Torn Asunder is a fascinating short film with thought-provoking content relevant for this period of political unrest. It’s well-crafted, with an impressionistic collage of images and a potent soundtrack designed to heighten the message. The best films are always about storytelling; and creator Bob Barancik effectively captures the frayed American national psyche. This award-winning little film could become one of the most watched films on the Internet.” — Thomas Baker, Ph.D., Coordinator, Accolade Competition
