In city venues and living rooms all around Australia, audiences watched on as Nsw filmmaker Abe Forsythe was awarded first prize at Movie Extra Tropfest 2010 last night for his short film, Shock. The film tells the story of a radio announcer who has an emotional breakdown on his way to work before sharing celebrity gossip and cracking crude jokes on air. Inspired by an incident last year on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show, Forsythe's film attempted to reveal the hidden side of celebrity. For Forsythe who has entered Tropfest numerous times and been a finalist on three occasions, including winning Best Comedy with Being Carl Williams last year, this win meant a lot.
