PJ Raval

Best Emergent Local Filmmaker
Todd V. Wolfson

He's directed videos for metal gods the Sword, served as cinematographer on Kyle Henry's remarkably disturbing Room, and co-directed the one-of-a-kind documentary Trinidad (go ahead, name another independent doc that travels to Colorado and unearths the sex-reassignment capital of the world, we dare you). As if that weren't enough, Raval also did cinematography (with Kimberley Roberts) for the Academy Award-nominated New Orleans doc Trouble the Water, which, while it didn't nail the Oscar, did pick up the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2008. Top that!
