We are pleased to announce the 2014 winner of the Technicolor Post Joy Award is Michael Fuller for his project, Myrtle Beach.

Myrtle Beach is an experimental feature-length narrative-driven documentary set in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

This film takes place during that time of year when this beach town is mostly devoid  of tourists. As Canadians such iconic tourist destinations inform (or perhaps  misinform) our idea of what awaits south of the border down the I-95 highway: a land  of perpetual sun and good times. Myrtle Beach uses the parameters of a place to  explore something larger. It shows a beach town that is alive with personal stories, singular histories, private sorrows, quiet passions, lonely moments, happy accidents, joyful epiphanies and nocturnal rants. Disarmingly quiet and visually arresting, these candid monologues and conversations gently coax disparate world views to the fore and fix a circumspect gaze on a flip side of life in resort towns that we tourists rarely get to witness.
