Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard in Humpday
Lynn Shelton's Humpday, about two guys who decide to have sex with one another so they can take part in an amateur porn competition, won the John Cassavetes Award "given to the best feature made for under $500,000" at the 2010 Spirit Awards ceremony in downtown Los Angeles. Last year, Shelton won the Spirits' Someone to Watch Award for My Effortless Brilliance.
“We're not gonna be at the Oscars," Shelton explained in the press room. "So having a forum at this event … is really awesome.”
