Get Ready, HERE WE COME!

Well well well, interfriends. This is your old pal/blogmaster Timmy again. For the past couple of months now, the Really Big Short Blog has been bringing you announcements about the progression of the Really Big Short Film Festival, and this week, we are READY TO GO! The 2008 RBSFF is coming at you This Friday and Saturday, February 22 and 23, here at the IMAX Theater at your Indiana State Museum. The schedule is set, the films are ready to go, and now, all we need is YOU! We are proud to have put together an amazing couple days of films with the folks who worked so hard to get these pieces of art out there, and so it is with great pride that we're announcing (A Really Big Short Blog Exclusive!) the Top 5 Films of our 2008 competition!

Here they are, listed in Alphabetical order:

Duncan Alney - Hope
Jakob Bilinski - Foxxy Madonna vs the Black Death
Leslie Lorance - The Plump Legacy
Kelly Lynch - The Passenger
Sarah Mynett - Riley's Story

The Top 3 will be screened on Friday as a part of the Friday Night Picture Show. Most of our filmmakers will be in attendance that night as well to give you just a taste of the great shows that we'll be screening on Saturday, as will our panel of judges. We'll be presenting the RBSFF awards, and having a great evening, all around. The night starts at 7:30, with ticket prices at $9, and $5 for Indiana State Museum members.

Saturday, we'll have 4 blocks of films starting at 11 Am, with our filmmakers introducing their films. just about everyone should be here, so come expecting a chance to hobnob with the directors of the films that you see! Tickets for each block are $9, or you can purchase an all-day pass for $27!

A quick note... we had originally scheduled a feature film, The Top 8 Experiment, to run at the conclusion of our film blocks... however that one will be delayed due to a production issue. HOWEVER, we will still be showing that film in the near future as a part of of our IMAXIndie series. Stay tuned for more deets, folks!

Wow. I can't believe it's finally here. I doubt that I'll be getting much sleep in the next few days, and as a result, I'll be posting a little more information every day leading up to the big show on Friday! Keep your interblag eyes here, folks, and remember, I'm sleep-deprived and unfit to drive, so I need you to Clutch First!
