A western suburbs filmmaking family has returned from the Sydney Opera House with a major film festival milestone, after taking home a top award at the SmartFone Flick Fest (SF3) held from 23-25 January. Filmmaker Tez Vi Truong (Tez Frost) won Best AI Film for his short film The 5-Minute Empire at the SF3 Gala Finals, marking the first time the award has been presented in the festival’s history. The win followed a landmark weekend for the Truong family, with Tez and his two children, Alexis, 7, and Charlie, 5, all having films screened at the Opera House. The family previously made history as the first family of three to be selected as finalists at the festival in the same year. Mr Truong said the weekend was one he and his family would never forget.
