2012 - Pirates of Canadia : Fortune Cookie 48 Hour Film Fest - Best Tweet Award

Well, no this isn’t a very big deal, but it shows just how fun this 48 hour competition was! From the commencement of the contest, each team was encouraged to tweet throughout the rushed production process. Our group, Team Fizbin, tweeted nonstop! The zinger that won the prize was my tweeting of a Facebook post by our other writer, Michael Boling. We also filmed at his apartment, and he had some comments about it.  This prose shall be forever legendary!

2011 - Still Kickin’_ :  ReelDreams Film Fest Competition - Top 7 Finalist

We were a part of the three-way tie for fourth place in this competition held at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA in April 2011. We competed head to head with graduate and undergraduate level film students and held our own. Initially, nearly fifty short films were submitted, and were whittled down to Top 25 and then Top 7 by Regent’s film faculty.

During the Finale, we were also honored to have our short film judged by some very famous people. One guest judge was Brian Davidson, a professional television writer and producer. He is currently a Supervising Producer for the show CSI: Miami and has worked on countless other television productions. Another honored judge was Booker T. Mattison, who has written and directed many short films and music videos which air regularly on national television. He is also a successful author and film maker who earned his MFA from New York University and is a professor at Regent University. The final guest judge was John Sullivan, the producer for the (in)famous documentary featuring Ben Stein called Expelled. He is currently producing a feature film about Ronald Reagan and has a lifetime of experience in the entertainment industry.

We were truly honored to have our film judged along with the other shorts by such experienced and well known professionals! Thanks a million, Regent University.
