Awards

82nd Academy Awards® 2009
Nominee
Best Live Action Short Film

“I am absolutely delighted that the Academy has nominated ‘The Door’. Especially for all the people in Belarus and the Ukraine who are still living under the cloud of Chernobyl. And for my dedicated team of filmmakers - Tim Fleming, Igor Sigov, Juliette Gering, Louise Curran, Nathan Nugent, Susie Cullen and of course James Flynn, all of whom took a chance on me and walked with me every step of the way! This film would not be possible without their talent, commitment and hard work. Making this film was a very special experience and it’s amazing to suddenly find ourselves on the world stage.”
Juanita Wilson - Director of ‘The Door’
