Back and ready to ROLL!

Howdy howdy, residents of the Interblag! It's your long-lost blogmaster Timmy here, and I must apologize for my long absence from these digital pages, as I was mourning/celebrating the life of a fine man who recently passed on in Northern Kentucky... Tough times, to be sure, but the valleys in life that we all go through often serve to remind us not only how good the mountaintops are, but also that we need not forget what pain is like, or keep from expressing that to others. Many of our filmmakers this year had an opportunity to capture the pain of sorrowful times for the rest of us to share... many of them were a great comfort to this guy.

Enough of the wahwahs... we've selected our films for this year! We here at RBSFF Central are incredibly proud of the selections that we are going to be showcasing, and even better, proud of the fact that every filmmaker who submitted a film will have at least 1 film shown on February 23. The biggest goal of this festival is to promote those who have a love of filmmaking in the state of Indiana, and we really feel like we've accomplished that goal in the scheduling this year! You can view all of this year's selections, schedules, and synopses at the mothersite, http://www.reallybigshortfilmfestival.org. Get ready for a great time at the end of this month! WAY TO GO, GUYS!

On that note, here's a little more information on how things are going to go down. We've just received the results from all of our celebrity judges, and a winner has been selected! (Who won, you ask? Yeah right, chump. Craig and Wayne are still mad at me for ruining our Q&A with Bruce Campbell a few years back... I don't wanna give em one final reason to kill me...) We'll be showcasing the top 3 films and presenting the RBSFF awards on Friday night, February 22 at the Friday Night Picture Show here at the IMAX Theater. The following day, Saturday, February 23, we will be showing 21 films in 4 blocks, which can be viewed at the Mommasite. There will also be opportunities to mingle with the filmmakers, so be sure to be there for the whole day!

OK guys, on the Wii Boxing front, I've gotta go with the Italian Stallion. Not that La Motta couldn't hold his own, but did you see Rocky Balboa? If I'm supposed to believe that he can come out of nowhere and destroy Mason Dixon, then I have to believe he can handle his way around a WiiMote. This is a new world, people. Scorcese is winning Oscars, Eli Manning is winning Super Bowl MVPs, and Runts now have mango and pineapple candy pieces instead of lime and cherry. Anything is possible.

So that's all for now. I'll be back soon with plenty more updates and info. You just need to do your part and be ready to show up in a couple of weeks! That's the way it is, Indiana! CLUTCH FIRST!
