LOS ANGELES, CA - May 24, 2023 - Urban Renaissance Entertainment’s fan-fiction short film, "Triggered: A Cinematic Superhero Fan Film," has added another feather to its cap, winning its 25th film festival award at the annual IndieX Fest Awards Ceremony.
The 21-minute film, dedicated to the memory of co-star and Co-Executive Producer Steven James Tingus, was screened at the Regal L.A Live on May 6th, 2023, alongside 70 films from across the globe, including France, Germany, and Vietnam. "Triggered" emerged as one of the 12 winners of the monthly awards in 2022 and was amongst the 3 finalists at the festival, taking home the award for Best Fantasy Short.
