Film Entered: Aquaburn Date: September 27th - 28th , 2003

In the midst of editing Burning Karma Bill Breithaupt took four days off to visit New York for the Coney Island Film Festival. It was his first time to New York since he was six years old. He and his mother enjoyed some sight-seeing, visiting Ground Zero and checking out Manhattan.

Rob Leddy, director of the Coney Island Film Festival, and his wife, did a fabulous job hosting a gala for the filmmakers at the Coney Island Musuem. As part of the festivities a Freak Show was put on, with burlesque dancers, a glass-eating man, and an obscene-balloon artist. The filmmakers enjoyed themselves in the laid-back atmosphere.

"Aqua Burn" headlined in the block of competing documentaries. When Bill returned home he received an e-mail informing him that his film won 1st place in the documentary catagory.
