For Once in My Life, a project of the July 2009 6-week class, won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at SXSW. The film has been receiving praise from many places including Cinematical, which writes, "South by Southwest has a great history of introducing documentaries to audiences. Some have even ended up on the shortlist and final lists for Oscar. Of all the ones I have seen so far from this fest, one Oscar will have a hard time avoiding is this film…" The film was edited by TEC alum, Amy Foote.
