Guest judge Guillermo del Toro announces the 2011 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival® Brown Jenkin Short Film Awards (the 6" award was sculpted by Bryan Moore of Arkham Studios), the awards were presented by the festival founder Andrew Migliore and the HPLFF-LA festival director Aaron Vanek at the Grand Warner in San Pedro on September 17, 2011.

• Runner up - Black Goat by Joseph Nanni
• Co-Winner - Static Aeons by Gib Patterson
• Co-Winner - Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven by Don Thiel III & Christopher Saphire

Chris and Don were there at the Warner Grand theater to accept their award, we sent the statue to Gib who was in New York at the time. Apparently Chris and Don said they were literally covering their mouths and waving their free hand to stay silent and listen to Guillermo's praise.

The festival founder also gave special consideration to "Shadow of the Unnamable" by Sascha Renninger for Best Short Lovecraft Adaptation.

Once again we thank all the filmmakers for their submissions this year.
