Amazon/Tribeca Film Festival

There is a new film festival being put on by Amazon and the Tribeca Film Festival. The shorts have to be under 7 minutes so we have submitted 3 sketches, "Cain, the Lion Cockroach Hunter; Dresses; and Wedding." So this is how it works.

Starting April 18, the films will be presented to Amazon customers, on a random basis, in the Tribeca Screening Room at Amazon.com. Customers will be invited to rate the films, on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, to determine the five finalists.

At the end of May, the five highest-rated films will each be featured on the Amazon.com welcome page over five weeks. Amazon.com customers will again be invited to rate the five finalists to determine the winner.

Unfortunatly there is no way to choose a specific short. And you can't choose a different short to look at. You have to watch and rate it to get to another short. I don't know how many shorts were entered so the odds of getting one of ours is slim but if you happen to be on Amazon.com and go to the screening room maybe you'll be able to vote one of ours into the top 5 and help us win the $50,000 prize to help fund our next project!
