Earlier tonight in Austin, Jake Mahaffy's "existential, experimental" Wellness won the best narrative feature jury award at the 2008 South By Southwest Film Festival.

Other winners included Daniel Junge's They Killed Sister Dorothy which took the grand jury prize for best documentary feature. The film concerns the politics behind the killing of a nun.
