McDonnell, and Tyler Hollinger. Jay Lap assisted Shawn Kittelsen in developing the story, which was partially inspired by the former's bizarre encounter with a mid-50's musically-disinclined drug-addled divorcee.

Over da Rainbow went on to win four awards at the festival, including Achievements in Producing, Editing, Sound Design, and Production Design.
