Angelus Festival

This just in....

The Doc. just got accepted to the Angelus fest as a semi-finalist. They will announce the finalist in Sept. and the fest is in October. This is the premiere fest for student film makers. It's in LA which is cool because some big wigs show up to see if there is anything worth picking up for distribution. There are also some big prizes I think 8,000 for best doc. That would be awesome to send down to El Salvador and help the people in the dumps.

Here's the list of competitors and the email i got about 30 mins. ago

ANNOUNCING THE 2005 SEMI-FINALISTS – ANIMATION, COMEDY & DOCUMENTARY

Thank you everyone, for your patience and compassion! What a challenge you gave us… We appreciate your entry, your hard work and commitment to filmmaking. One thing for certain – there is a lot of passion and talent out there – and it was difficult to name but a few. (This is the part where the job is not fun!) When the dust settled, the final # of entries came in at 720 (films postmarked JULY 1st just came in from Israel and Australia…)

The Animation, Comedy & Documentary divisions are finished. The semi-finalists are listed below.

Live-Action will soon follow – either late tonight, or early tomorrow at the latest. I would rather our team be thorough and late, than rushed and on-time. This means many films are screened YET AGAIN, just to make sure.

You will also receive a letter via snail mail for your records.

Regardless if you name is listed below or not – if you are in Los Angeles during October you are invited to attend the screenings – please email Kale and request a pair of tickets. (first come, first served.)

Thank you again, on behalf of the judges, staff, sponsors and supporters – thanks for making this our landmark year. Your letters and notes have all been encouraging and appreciated.

Best,

Monika
