"It was a real pleasure to be among the festival's winners and be a part of it," Pratt said. "Michael Chase was a fun role. He pretends to be a highly acclaimed film student to impress an ex-girlfriend. Malibu Crush featured many talented people."

Another big winner of the night was Bonnie McKee for Best Short Film, Best Composer, and Best First Time Filmmaker. She wrote, directed, and starred in April Kills the Vibe.

BHIFF also honored Marathon Mindset for Best Feature and Best Comedy, The Invitation for Best Horror, Killing Georgia Jones for Best Thriller, and There's No End for Best Documentary.
