A few weeks ago Amanda and I entered the Babelgum online film festival – assuming that we would probably get blown out of the water and not stand a chance.
But! I’ve been getting weekly emails updating us on the status of ‘64 Days – Part 1′, and we are currently ranked at #11. The reason I’m writing this is because the top 10 submissions go on to be judged by a panel of “industry experts”, and then the top 2 from that are watched personally by Spike Lee.
Whether we’ll make it that far seems kinda’ crazy to me – but I’d hate to be one position away from ever knowing.
So – how can you help? To vote in the contest, you’ll need the Babelgum player (I’m not happy that people are required to download software just to cast a vote, but they insist). You can click here to download it for free.
Okay, so you’ve done that, now the easy part: open up the Babelgum program, and you’ll be greeted with this screen below:
Where you can do a quick search for “64 Days” – we should be the first result that comes up.
If you click on our thumbnail and choose play, you’ll see on the right side of the player a whole list of social tools.
The star at the top is all you need to click to cast your vote, select the number of stars and ta-daa. You’re all done, and we owe you a huge, huge, huge thank you!
We really can’t stress enough how much we appreciate this – being a finalist in the contest could do so much for the project as we struggle along with post-production.
