NYUFF 15th and FINAL year

I'm flying to NYC this weekend to attend the 15th and FINAL New York Underground Film Festival. It's sad that it's dying but I understand and know that things will pop up to fill the void. Still, it's sad.
So, to alleviate any weird feelings, here's Ben Coonley's trailer for the festival!

You can watch all 6 commissioned trailers on the NYUFF08 youtube page.
I'll miss you!!!!!

Camp to the Nth Degree Video Contest

My friend Josh's second book is coming out in May. He and the publisher are having some contest where you send in a video of you enacting the script that the gay, 15-yr-old, midwestern protagonist writes in the book. Very meta.

"FAILURE DVD: maybe, literally?" an email dramedy in 3 acts.

ACT ONE
Hi *****,

Let me know if the DVD I sent you works. There is a very real possibility that we took the theme to a conceptual level we weren't anticipating. In the last few days we've noticed that the company we contracted to burn them actually gave us about half of them blank. I hope I sent you one that works! If not, let me know and I'll send you a new one.

ACT TWO
hey ivan,

i checked it out last night, and unless that joint i smoked was laced with something really crazy, it appeared to be working just fine. can't wait until i have a minute to actually sit down and watch the videos!

if anyone complains, tell them the special collector's edition is already going for big bucks on ebay... :)

ACT THREE
PHEW! I'm glad it worked!

Yeah I kinda like how a blank DVD makes it a conceptual piece (calling the collection FAILURE was GENIUS!) ;D
I might keep a few of those around!

I fucking love this youtube video. There's something about that AMAZING song and the "ipod commercial from hell (interface)" effect that really gets to me. It's pure guileless awesome. People like Petra are really using the internet in some amazing ways.
Check out her youtube channel, and her website for some great links!
