How could these films be missed?????

Superheros was really a good film and deserved the top prize, but The Village Barbershop the audience award? Come on. I heard more people talking about the following three films than the Barbershop. Kinda entertaining I guess if you have nothing else to watch, BUT how could... Amal - shot in India on location with a first time director using very well known Indian actors. He shot this in INDIA on location!!!! Not somewhere easy like Napa. Half Empty - Shot in Germany on NO BUDGET! Most of the films dialogue was made up on the fly. The songs were clever and the story was fun and very original! The Art of Travel- They shot in four different countries with hardly any budget and they used known actors! It's hard enough to get known actors to be in an independent film in the United States, but to be in a film that shoots in four 3rd world countries? I take my hat off to them. And not to mention the film was entertaining and I didn't see the ending coming. These three films should be the Mavericks in their own right but a film that was shot in Reno, but actually Napa, come on. The filmmaker is from the Bay Area so he knew somebody at the festival to pull him a favor. Since the only other festival listed on the Barbershop website is the Sonoma Film Festival I guess they can count on another award there.
