Andrew Wagner's "The Talent Given Us" won the jury award at the 2004 Cinevegas film fest. John Harkrider's "Mitchellville" received a honorable mention from the jury.

Top jury prize goes to a feature-length narrative pic seeking U.S. distribution. Jury members included helmer Darren Aronofsky, thesp Sarah Polley and journo Wendy Mitchell.

Audience award went to Larry Golin's "Cross Bronx."
