Full of surprises, this week's bonus "buzz" competition has shown me a lot, including the value and enjoyment of the first short film I've written, Stealing Zen, directed by Liz Manashil. I'm not the only one who loves it! I've had strangers tell me it was the best thing they've seen in a while and although of course everyone's taste differs, I feel extremely grateful to be able to share it unexpectedly so soon.
Yes, I would love to win this competition. If everyone magically went to http://indi.com/8xd4b, registered, favorited it, and shared it right now, I would be thrilled to get it up to 3rd place and make sure Danny Elfman sees it so it has a better chance of being screened at the LA Film Fest. That would be huge!
Even better? The fact that everyone who wants to see it now has a chance, at least until May 27 at 8pm. So, if you want to check it out, please do, at http://indi.com/8xd4b. If you also share it, great. If you don't, I'm honored that we're in the top 10 films out of the 155 submitted to this great Indi challenge... and so grateful for the amazing team of people who made it with me.
