Well, I just got back into town after a shoot and AtomFilms has updated stating that submissions are done and the finalists will debut between June 20 and July 5.

Makes me nervous again. I’ve had some great feedback so far from the few people who have seen it, but then they know me, so they’re a bit biased. Fingers crossed that the rest of the world thinks as highly of my work.

I checked the Carb Wars teaser and Spud Wars on YouTube today. Both had a 3.5 star rating and combined hits of about 800. Not too bad, but if you’re reading this then you know you really should get over there, watch the movie and then rate it (preferably high) just to help me out. You know you want to.

It’s done. Over. Finito (is that a real word?)

On Wednesday I mailed my entry to the 2006 Star Wars Fan Film Awards at AtomFilms. I wasn’t this nervous when I got married. Really. So the screener copies are off and I’m just sitting holding my breath at this point. There’s really nothing I can do except sit and wait. Hopefully all will go well and I’ll get a message about sending a copy that’s web ready. According to the fine print June 16 is the cutoff so I should know by then. If not, you’ll all be seeing it appear on the web around that date.

Fingers crossed and knock on wood, I put enough into this film, I really hope it’s a winner.

Well, I’m nearing the end. Last night I finished the effects on 3 of the remaining 4 “final duel” shots. The forth is nearly done and I’ll wrap that tonight. After that it’s just a matter of mixing some of the audio, laying in the music bed (which I’m told is almost complete as well) and making the tapes to send off into the contest. That May 23rd deadline just creeps up faster and faster. Carb Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Spud finally draws to a close.

Started a blog in order to track what’s happening with the film. Hopefully this will work.
