Dreamers and Gamblers: Spirit of the Pioneer Wildcatters is a fifty minute documentary film highlighting some of the most adventurous and successful of the oilmen from Northwest Louisiana, says the movie's web site.
Recently the movie won Honorable Mention: Short Documentary (equivalent to 3rd place, with only 3 winners in each category) in the Accolade Competition. The Accolade, says the Accoladers, "is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the entertainment industry because ... it recognizes exceptional achievement in craft and creativity in film, video, television and commercials. Outstanding craft and creativity are required; there are tough judges and few winners."
On the production team: G. Scott Griffin was director, videographer, editor, sound producer and composer. Scott Griffin has worked on numerous feature films, experimental films, documentaries, music videos, and commercials. He served as Director of Photography for the Louisiana segment of the much lauded PBS documentary American Masters: Hank Williams, as well as the documentary Tracking the Flood Survivors.
