Short Dayton film wins honor

By Terry Morris | Friday, October 3, 2008, 04:45 PM

“Y Not,” a short film shot in the Dayton area by Derek W. Beck, received an honorable mention in the 2008 Chicago International REEL Shorts Fest in September.

Ohio native Beck, who now lives in Los Angeles but continues to serve in the U.S. Air Force Reserves at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, said the honor was his first official recognition as a filmmaker. He plans to submit the film to other festivals.

Filmed in 16mm color, “Y Not” was done with Dayton area actors and crew. It’s about a real estate agent who pauses during a busy day to help a complete stranger who turns out to have a surprising connection to her.
