February 2005 DVXfest Short Film Festival - LINKS
Here are the entries for this month’s DVXFest. The theme of the February DVXfest was love and all films had to include a heart-shaped box of chocolates as a required prop. Once again, I'm hugely impressed at the talents of our DVXusers--the films keep getting better. Please post some feedback for the filmmakers in the Film Discussion thread--they all deserve it.
Every single entry is worth watching, so if you plan on voting please watch each and every entry—it’s only fair. Voting is open to all DVXUser members. The contest judging is meant for a panel of your filmmaking peers, so PLEASE, no having friends and family vote or risk disqualification. So as not to bias voters, please do not post your opinions and comments on the films in this thread. All comments should be posted in the FEBRUARY DVXFEST SHORTS thread in the Film Discussion thread. As a courtesy, please do not read the comments before you vote.

Plus, all 2005 monthly winners will be eligible for the Best of DVXfest 2005 award and the oh-so-sweet prize that goes with the title. The February winning filmmaker will receive the following prize:
Magic Bullet for Editors Software
That elusive film look is within your grasp with Magic Bullet for editors. Courtesy of Panasonic USA and Jan Crittenden, DVX100 Product Manager. What can you say about Panasonic? They came up with a groundbreaking camera that's allowed indie filmmakers and video producers to achieve an unprecedented level of quality at a reasonable price.
