Director Jeff Mizushima takes the Jury Prize for Best Director!"If standard Hollywood plots had dictated the piece, then much of the
character revelation and interest would’ve been shallow. Instead, Jeff
Mizushima’s movie turns into a high-quality comedy about the evolution
of life and growing up."

"Mizushima's "Etienne!" was a conversation piece for many over the
weekend. The film, a spiritual cousin to "Lars and the Real Girl,"
centers on a pudgy loner who has only one friend -- the titular dwarf
hamster -- whom he decides to take on a bike trip up the California
coast after the critter is diagnosed with terminal cancer."
