In other news, while not a Filmweavers production, half of our group got together just for fun and shot a couple 30 second commercials for the contest being held by right.org. Perphaps you are for the bailouts, or perphaps you are against them, either way it was a fun reason to get together and practice making something we've never done before, a commercial.  Thirty seconds goes by alot faster than it seems like it should when you are trying to tell a story! The second commercial will be released on the site shortly. We'll post as soon as it's completed.

We hope you enjoy the commercial! Don't blink or you may miss it.

Don't forget to watch it in HD with the HD link on the bottom of the Youtube player at it's Youtube home page! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8PZHa_2bgo 
After the contest is over we will release a full 720p version for download on the website.

Here at Filmweavers we are always looking for ways to help other filmmakers out and further the cause of Christian filmmaking.  One such opportunity that presented itself was the chance to sponsor the ChristianFilmmakers.org Annual 36-Hour Contest.

This is the same contest you may remember Micah and I participating in last year.  Our little short "The Lost Sock" actually ended up winning!  If you haven't seen it already feel free to check it out below:

We'll be sitting the contest out this year as we continue preparations for pick-up shooting on "The Penny", but we're still looking forward to viewing all the other entries this year.  For those of you who aren't familiar with ChristianFilmmakers.org I'd recommend you check it out.  The site and forums can be a great place to connect with other filmmakers and stay up to date on the latest in Christian film.
