Chicago – On a cold day in January, it was a “Cold War” night. The Midwest Independent Film Festival “Best of the Midwest” (BMA) Awards for 2018 were given out on January 17th, 2019, and “Cold War” took home three major honors, including Best Feature.
The shot-in-Chicago indie film also won Best Director (J. Wilder Konschak and Stirling McLaughlin) and Best Actor (Michael Blaiklock). The Best Actress was Clare Cooney in her excellent short “Runner.” (also Best Short Film). The BMA Awards were hosted by Executive Director Amy Guth at the The Promontory in Hyde Park, Chicago.
