Wow. Not much else that I can say except... wow. What a great weekend we had here at the Really Big Short Film Festival... and we owe it all to you folks. Craig and myself put a lot of hard work and long hours into this past weekend, (more Craig than me... I usually update you guys whilst sitting on my couch watching SportsCenter,) but the finished product was more than wirth it. Our filmmakers brought us an amazing program to share, and we are so grateful for those of you who came to show your support for local films and those who make them. Thank you so much for being a part of what we hope will continue to be a great Indy tradition!
So here's the rundown for those of you who weren't able to attend. Our Friday Night Picture Show showcased our top 3 films from this year, which were...
3rd Prize- Foxxy Madonna vs. the Black Death (Jacob Bilinski)
2nd Prize- Hope (Duncan Alney)
1st Prize- The Passenger (Kelly Lynch)
Honorable Mention - Riley's Story (Sarah Mynett), The Plump Legacy (Leslie Lorance)
Congratulations and thank you to our Winners and Hon. Mens, who not only brought us some wonderful entertainment, but also produced films that lend serious credence to this Film Festival and Indiana Filmmaking in general. They are using their talents and surroundings to improve the place they live in, and they deserve a great deal of credit for that. Big Kudos, youse guys.... Also, many thanks to our judges, and I'd be remiss if I didn't give another big shout-out to Craig Mince, the father of this Monster, whose dedication to showcasing local filmmakers continues to make way for better and better films. Go get em, CAM!
Oh.... are you sad that you won't be hearing from this guy any more? No? Well that's good news, cause I'm gonna be sticking around! HA! We're going to keep the Really Big Short Blog up and running to continue to provide year-round information about the Festival, and also to promote our IMAXIndie film series. IMAXIndie provides a place for local artists to have their feature films screened here at our theater, reaching an audience they might otherwise miss. Stay tuned for more deets on next year's competition and more films as they develop!
Man oh man, between the two days of being Festive, not to mention helping out with the Indiana Art Fair and getting ready to move, I have hit a wall. Good thing I have S'Mores Pop Tarts and Monster to keep me up and going! I'll be back soon, so in the interest of your vehicle, and my lack of ability to find a better catchphrase, Clutch First, Indiana!
