Got the news yesterday that our Truman Show wasn’t chosen as a finalist for the Empire and Jameson done in 60 seconds competition. Disappointed as I am, I knew it would be tough as it is an international competition. I’m not thinking of putting an end to Tin Foil Productions and our parodies just yet, especially since all of our six entries for The Touch Film festival made it to the final last year. Maybe the recipe for success is to have multiple entries! I’m still really happy with Truman. I think we did really well with the resources we had as well as having just one cast member in the final cut. It was also extremely fun trying to condense a movie into 60 seconds and I don’t think this will be the last time I try. It was a good way to enhance my editing skills and we had some great laughs filming it. Here’s a little chewing gum blooper.

I’m really surprised that a few entries didn’t get through. I thought this version of Sweeney Todd was especially brilliant.

If you want to see and vote for the finalists that did make it through, you can see them here.
