The National Film Challenge does a competition every year in which teams from around the country compete by making a short movie in the span of one weekend. At 7:00 PM local time on Friday, you receive an e-mail with a genre, a quote, a character, and a prop. Your film must be entirely made (scripted, shot, and edited) during the next three days and be postmarked that Monday.

We cheerfully took part in the competition. Friday night was our big party/brainstorming night. Unfortunately, it worked too well, and our brains were rather stormy the next day. But we persevered, and during that Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we produced the soon to be cult sensation Snarfl’xxing with Humons.

This all happened the weekend before Thanksgiving. Today we discovered that we are finalists! Out of the 139 films submitted, we are one of the top 15! Which means that people really do like us, or they just don’t like other people (to be honest, I’m not really sure). Either way, if you like us, you should vote for our movie. That way when we get rich and famous, you can say that you knew us back in the day, and that if it weren’t for your vote, we wouldn’t be the pompous jerks we turned out to be. Pretty cool, eh?

On to the voting, go here to view the films, register and vote.
