Completely unreferenced article about a film, whose only discernible notability claim is that it received a local filmmaking award at the film festival in the filmmaker's hometown. The notability test for films requires some evidence of media coverage (critical reviews, etc.), and every film festival award that exists does not always confer an automatic exemption from actually having to have any media coverage. As well, this article was created by an editor whose username matches the name of one of the film's editors, so this is conflict of interest editing. Wikipedia, as always, is not a free PR platform for emerging filmmakers to publicize their own work: reliable sources, independent of the film's own marketing efforts, have to tell us whether the film has cleared a notability bar or not.

Comment When I NPPed the page I did some Googling to decide if I should tag it or speedy it & I DID find some local and regional press coverage. I was hoping tagging it would inspire the creator to add it. I don't know if what's there is enough to meet WP:GNG and there are still obvious WP:PROMO issues, but I will add some links later for a little better context on it it MIGHT be salvageable.
