“Between the Lines,” the story of romantic competition, won for Best Picture in Renton FilmFrenzy V Tuesday night, the second top award for its producer.

Producer Mitch Shepherd of Renton won the FilmFrenzy IV Best Picture for “The Disconnect” in 2011, another love story about a man headed to his wedding who needs some advice, which he ends up getting from a stranger.

In this year’s top film, two actors battle for the affections of their co-star. Last year one of those real actors, John Wu, won the Best Actor Curvee for his starring role in “The Disconnect.”

This year, the Best Actor Curvee went to Jason Pead, who went head-to-head with Wu in “Between the Lines.”

“They are great talents,” Shepherd said. Pead and Wu star in a movie now out on DVD called “Rogue Saints.” Deanna Sarkar, the object of their affections in “Between the Lines,” also stars in the movie.

“Next year is a sci-fi thriller,” said Shepherd of Renton, following his back-to-back wins. “I am telling you right now. I don’t even know what it will be. But I probably just proclaimed it will be a sci-fi thriller.”

He called the FilmFrenzy competition a “great experience. I just think it’s wonderful.”

“I love that the city puts this on every year,” he said. “It’s great for students and for people who just like to make their art.”

Voting is also under way for the Renton Reporter People’s Choice Curvee Award.
