Well, dear friends, I have entered my first short film into my first film festival. This truly was one of my fastest productions, I started planning and organizing on the 2nd of October, came up with a cast, crew, and location as well as equipment by the 3rd, at which time I shot all of my footage, in the dark, with artificial lighting. On the 4th, I edited the footage at the same time that I composed and produced my own music, as well as titling and credits. On the 5th, I submitted my completed film, just before the deadline(the 5th :)). It is now in the approval process....if approved, fifteen days after the 5th(the would be the 20th of October), I should be notified of the final results. I hope to at least make the Top Ten.

At this time, I'd like to specially thank a few people who helped me out, in chronological order. First, I'd like to thank Rachel Laird for brainstorming with me(I was brainstorming before the 2nd), her ideas led me into the direction I finally decided upon.

Second, I would like to thank Mark Geier, my employer, who was lenient enough to let me use all his equipmemt. I wouldn't have had anything without his assistance.

Third, I'd like to thank my wonderful cast and crew, specifically, Brittni Vandenhaak, Kira Lodder, Luke Bonvanie, and by reason of residence, Jordan Geier. You guys put up with my disorganized mess of things, and helped me pull together a result that actually looks somewhat decent. Thanks :).

Fourth, to the parents of the aforementioned cast and crew, for allowing me to keep your sons and daughters up late. Well, I wouldn't say you really allowed me to, but, I haven't had any lectures yet, so I think I'm in the clear :). A special thanks to Mrs. Lodder, who kindly provided us with a quick dinner and fashion advice, which was very much apprechiated.

Fifth, to all of my friends, you people have influenced me in ways that nobody will ever be able to know(not even me). Thank you for your encouragement, support, and words of wisdom.

That's it for now......wait, what? You want to actually see it? Uhm....ok, I guess.
