Hmm, I've really enjoyed this contest the last couple of years. I like that we'll get to see all the films online this year. I think the decision to take out the 24hr round is probably a good one, since it's the 2-week films that are the most enjoyable.
 
Ahab, wasn't yours that one about modern-day cowboys?

The 24-hr final round is gone? That was a killer for anyone not living in NYC; hope they kept it for a local event though. Love that time-limit. :cool:

Sorry, that wasn't me. Last year I did the thing about martian students and the year before a thing about bumper stickers.

They did keep it as a separate event called the Brooklyn run, but I think it already happened this year.

Oh, that's right!

The martian one was very twilight-zoney, and the bumper-sticker one was hilarious!

Especially the "peeing on everything" gag.

There was another boardmember who did the one about the car thieves who travel back in time to the wild west. I had you muddled.

Last year boardmember Christopher had a great entry, as well, in the exact same category as mine.

NYC Madness is good times. :cool:

Indeed! I'm already looking forward to it and lining up my team. Hopefully, I'll be able to use the whole two weeks this time instead of the 3 days I had last year! Assuming I'll see your name in the competition this year as well?
