This post has been a long time coming, and here’s the reason why: we agreed that if we won an award at the Brainwash Movie Festival we would go on a bender that would last as many weeks as the number we placed. (Ex. 1st = 1 week, 2nd = 2 weeks, etc.)

This seemed to make sense seeing as how based on this system our bender would be proportionate to the amount of depression and/or level of celebration we would experience. So yeah, if we got 6th place I think we might need 6 weeks to wash the taste of defeat out of our mouths…with booze.

Well, it’s certainly not 6 weeks since Brainwash which means we were awarded 3rd prize. Quite the accomplishment considering the caliber of the other films that were entered into the festival this year. And then I made this thing, so there’s that.

It was a great night with some great films. I do not envy the judges because those must have been some tough calls to make. Here is a video of Josh awkwardly accepting the award on behalf of IFYW. (I get on at about 1:20.)

Thanks to 4th prize winners Elftwin Films for recording that and unwittingly allowing me to post it. You can’t see their whole film online but it looks like it’s getting some much deserved exposure in some festivals. Here is the trailer for “Horror of our Love”.

Once again thanks to the organizers, filmmakers, and attendees of this year’s festival.
