Well, you can’t win ‘em all, as they say, and it looks like we didnt place in the last two contests we entered. As I told you about in our last post, we were waiting to find out about our Accent Media Team Member’s entrants in the “Share the Air” contest, and their audition film for Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett’s new reality series about up and coming filmmakers, “On The Lot”. Unfortunately, our Share the Air entry didnt come in the top 3 spots, though we are still very proud of it, we definitely think the winner deserved it as well.
As far as our entry into the On The Lot reality show competition, we were hurt by a couple of factors. First the guys decided to do it on a whim and ended up filming the project in like 5 hours, (On Location!!!!), and put the edit together in about 3 days on their own time, in addition to doing their jobs here at Accent. Because of deciding to enter so late, the entry was not submitted until the final week of the competition, whereas other films had been looked at, rated and commented on for up to 6 weeks or more. Secondly, there was trouble uploading our film, we had to do it 4 times, all because of some problems on the website for the show. We were told it would not effect our chance to be evaluated or entered even though it didnt post until a week after the official deadline to enter, so who knows. Finally though, we are happy that those who were able to see it when it finally posted really enjoyed the original storyline with the fantastic twist they put in it, and thought it was very well put together for a last minute short film. I want to congratulate all of our guys for trying, and we encourage them to keep entering contests, we know they are bound for the winners circle one of these times soon!!
