The Official Winners!

1160901201.jpg

Haha I'm glad you posted that pic tonight.

I had to go out (happily) to attend Alex Depew's 30th birthday (he's the director of "memories") where I encountered several DVXusers, including Mark and Timur of 2nd place Bloody Mary.

Mark's 1st words to me were "let me be the 1st to say f@ck you" and then ge bought me a bud and a shot of jack :)

I don't know what to say except I am pleasantly surprised, and those who say I should have moved on long ago please note that I only won by 3/10ths of a point. I definitely felt Mark and Timur breathing down my neck this whole fest and had to pull out all the stops to barely nudge past them in the end. I think if we took another random sampling of DVXusers members it could easily come out with Bloody Mary on top or Broken Circle or Halfway or any other of the many excellent, excellent films this go around.

As such, it's an honor to even be mentioned with the top films here, and I express my deepest gratitude to DVXuser, the film making community that has given me the closest thing to formal training that I've had and a place to learn and grow and make and share movies and so much more than an HVX already. THank you thank you thank you.

Thanks for making it a great fest to all mods and members, you have been an inspiration to me.

I think I'm probably (never say never) going to retirement from DVXuser Fest at this point. It would, however, be my greatest honor to participate by assisting in future fests.

Thanks once again all.

Jack

Yeah ... here's my account

...Timur and Mark and I standing outside of the Waverly Diner in the West Village at about 330 AM, when up walks a handsome and solidly built young black dood ...
"Excuse me are you filmmakers" asks he.
"uhm ... yes ... uh ... why" sayeth I.
"What's your name?"
"Jack ..."
"I'm Isaac Brody," he replied.
"WHOAAAAAAA!" screamed Timur and Mark and I in unison as I thew my arms around him and exchanged a back slapping guy hug.

We told him that I'd nabbed 1st and that Mark and Timur had garnered 2nd and he gave us hearty congrats. What a thrill to meat such a respected Mod completely randomly out and about in NYC. I've always had such great respect for Isaac and to run into him tonight of all nights and meet him for the first time in person was just effin' great :beer:

Hey Hey

Jack - what did I tell you! you worry too much :-)

Mark and Timur! you deserve it! wow - I seriously mean that.

Over the course of this Fest I feel like some people have really included me in the group. Jack, Mark and Timur are a few of those. 2 weeks ago I didn't know who Jack or any of these people were, and I've been welcomed with open arms - very sweet!

I really mean it when I say Im thrilled for you Jack. Ive got to know you a little over the last few days and you come across as a very genuine and kind man, who absoutely loves the work he does. Mark and Timur, you've been far too complementary about my film and are a right good laf too.

On top of that it's an honour to be placed along side your films in this festival, you all know how highly I thought of them.

Thanks to Barry, Jarred, and all the moderators for putting on what I believe to be the most exciting festival I've entered. Ive said it before but without this fest my film would not have been made.... A big thankyou also to the support of everyone in this community. (well, most of you....lol).

Jack, the film contract Im sure is just the start for you. I hope you keep us all informed of it's progress. Timur, I'll make a special plate of milk for you, Mark - shut your (man)hole.


congrats once again!.... let me just say if I see any of you in public I will kill you all.


(personal Halfway thankyou's I'll post in my own thread)

You DO know he's an actor, right?! :evil:

Kidding, he, as well as most everyone on here, are great people!

That said, you did an amazing job with that short, and I meant it when I said of all the films I'd seen in this fest, yours scared me the most.
 
Thanks Norm.

Im thrilled with our placing. There really isnt much in it. We came second in VFX and second in editing 7.9 v 7.8..... so Im thrilled. ( and second in sound Ive just noticed!)....wow. But the top 2 winners deserved it. The right films came 1st and second.

The amount of detail in both Re-kindled and Bloody Mary was way ahead of my submission. My intent was just to make something atmospheric and to make something you guys would find scary. It looks like we succeeded on some of those accounts, so I couldnt be happier.

thanks to everyone for their support and for voting!

Congrats to you DARKLINE!!!
it'd been nice getting to know you as well!
And your film more than deserved to place. Very good filmmaking and I agree with the consensus that your film had the best sustained scare factor :thumbsup:
 
These results are very surprising in places and not in others. I would like to say thanks to all the filmmakers that submited. I love film and i feel that spirit here.
 
Deserving winners for sure... well done. Jack loved your lead by the way! and.... bloody mary was a bloody great short.
