The voting phase of the 1st FilmClick Online Film Festival has come to an end. For some, it’s been a long six weeks of waiting.  For me, it’s been fun to welcome many new members to our community and have many visitors watch your films and talk about them.  It’s our first festival and it won’t be our last.  We hope you enjoyed it.

Check back at the site at around 12 PM PST on Wednesday, September 10 to see the winners.  The voting buttons will take you to a random film from the festival until we announce the winners at that time.

Hello FilmClickers,

I’m tired, but pleased to announce that Comedy voting concluded at 12 AM this morning and the Documentary voting phase of the FilmClick Online Film Festival commenced at approximately 2 AM this morning, August 12.

Make friends with the filmmakers; they all seem friendly.  Buy a stuffed giraffe from that guy, he’s awesome!  Anyway, pick your favorite and tell your friends.  Thanks again for being a part of our growing community!

Best,

FilmClickers,

It’s time to announce the Comedy Finalists for the first FilmClick Online Film Festival. The FilmClick staff wants to thank you for lightening the mood around here for a few days. These seven funny film finalists will be competing for cash money; the top three spots in the comedy category during the July 29, 2008 - August 12, 2008 viewer voting period. We’ve made our selections–now it’s up to you.

Here are the seven finalists in an order determined by my stapler:

1. A Date with Wade

2. Everything or Nothing

3. Internet Party

4. Boxed Out

5. Love’s a Drag

6. Brainstorm

7. Eireannach Rithim - IRISH RUN

Honorable Mentions to:

Pirates of a Small Pond

Sleeves

The Coat

Prizes: Each category will award three cash prizes each for the top three finishes. First place will be awarded $1,000. Second place will receive $500. Third place will receive $250. In addition to cash prizes, everyone that makes it to the final round will receive a special note on their profile page, and will have their collective work highlighted on the homepage.

We’re on to the documentaries which, while artistically engaging, are generally much more serious. Finally, a good excuse for making the interns cry…

Anyway, we’ll be announcing all of the documentary finalists next Tuesday. Due to the volume and length of the documentary films, we haven’t all had a chance to see everything and make a preliminary vote quite yet. If we do have a consensus during the week, I’ll post on that film’s comments. Thanks again for all of the hilarious submissions and for being a part of our community!
