Jay Duplass’ ‘The Baltimorons,’ “Middletown’ Win Top Prizes at Nantucket Film Festival


A new dramedy from Jay Duplass took the top narrative prize at this year's Nantucket Film Festival.

From ground-breaking independent features to thought-provoking documentaries, we are proud to continue to offer the Nantucket audience diverse stories that reflect the tapestry of the island,” said executive director Mystelle Brabbée and lead programmer Anita Raswant. In the shorts category, “Snow Bear” by Aaron Blaise and Nicholas Burch took the narrative trophy and Charlotte Cooley’s “Last Days on Lake Trinity” scooped the doc recognition. The episode jury counted actor-director Justine Lupe (“Succession,” “Nobody Wants This”), Indiewire’s Proma Khosla and Amazon Studios TV development head Marc Resteghini.
