The locally produced feature "Saints & Soldiers" continues to win awards, this time taking home two honors from last weekend's Eclipse Film Festival in St. George.

Director Ryan Little's World War II drama won the Audience Choice Award, while Wynn Hougaard won Best Editing honors for the film.

Last month, "Saints & Soldiers" took home the top prize from the Indiana-based Heartland Film Festival, and it has also won audience awards at events in Telluride and Sacramento.

Other Eclipse awards went to Felix Fuchssteiner for best short film and as best director. His 45-minute "Die Kurve" also garnered best-screenplay honors for Tankred Dorst and Katharina Schode.

Also taking home a pair of awards was writer-director Michael A. Picchiotino's drama "Clipping Adam," which won for best feature and best actor, the latter going to Evan Peters.

Other winners were T.C. Christensen, who won the best-cinematography award for "A Pioneer Miracle"; Nate and Chris Smith, best animation for "Jonah: A Great Fish Story"; Timothy Gorski, best documentary for "Lolita: Slave to Entertainment"; and Tara Pinley's "Band Camp" won as best student film.
