Giltrude’s Dwelling, a short film from director Jeremy Lutter (NSI Drama Prize, NSI Features First), took home the award for best sci-fi/fantasy film at Reno’s Cordillera Film Festival last month.

Orphaned at the age of 11, Giltrude, an interdimensional shut-in, has waited 15 years for her parents to come home. When a life or death dilemma comes knocking, Giltrude must look beyond her front door and learn to face the outside universe.
