Jury Statement: "This year's SeriesFest takes place during an unprecedented time for the world and for filmmaking. We are awarding Supplements the 2020 Visionary Award for recognizing the importance of an inclusive diverse ensemble to tell their story while also successfully using science fiction to articulate and force us to reflect on issues that we’re experiencing today."

"Imagine, in grander principal, the worlds created by such Hollywood sci-fi juggernauts as “The Hunger Games”, “The Island”, and “Elysium” but then infuse it with a much more grounded, realistic yet no less impactful approach to what class-based, post-apocalyptic society might be like when those that have misuse and exploit those that don’t for their own supposedly “justifiable” purposes and you are scratching the surface of the foundational thematic intent visualized through this 15-minute short film. Presented almost as a proof of concept for what could easily be expanded into a feature-length effort, the film stands out in its more believable sci-fi sensibilities, neatly packaged run-time, impressively shot execution, evocative music score, and cleanly staged, highly effective CGI."

The short film has been nominated for an. AWFJ EDA Award at Whistler Film Festival 2019.

"Supplements... is a highly stylised and successful sci-fi film which begs for the story to continue. The story has just begun, and I’m left on tenterhooks wondering if Dr Jean Mercole will ever taste her own medicine."
