Acclaimed Texas Filmmaking Team Brings Home Two New Awards Following on the heels of their recent packed screenings at the Seattle, Woodstock and Austin Film Festivals, award-winning Texas filmmaking team Mark Dennis and Ben Foster have earned two new awards for their latest feature film. Dennis and Foster first took home the Special Jury Prize at the 2018 WorldFest Houston Film Festival for their latest sci-fi adventure, Time Trap, which has been garnering a lot of buzz since it first began its festival run last year.

The Special Jury Prize from the WorldFest Houston Film Festival was awarded to the two University of Texas alums in the category of Science Fiction. They then went on to win the Audience Choice award at the Hill Country Film Festival in Fredericksburg, Texas, the following weekend.

Later last year, Time Trap also nabbed the Jury Prize for "Most Innovative Narrative Feature" at the 20th Annual Hollywood Film Festival in Los Angeles. IndieWire recently referred to Time Trap as an "innovative new sci-fi adventure that rips apart both space and time at its very seams."

Cassidy Gifford (The Gallows), Reiley McClendon ("The Fosters") and Brianne Howey ("The Exorcist"), Time Trap follows a group of young archaeology students trapped inside a mystifying cave that unusually bends time. Time Trap is Dennis' and Foster's second film following Strings, which earned a staggering 13 awards, including three Audience Awards, two Best Director Awards, and more.
