Little Pen Wins Invitational Challenge

Little Pen Lost premiered at the Broad Humor Film Festival last Saturday, September 21st.   I was happy just to get a film done in time for the festival and happy that it was acknowledged in the world as a legitimate 5 minute film.

I feel I should apologize for saying that I didn't expect it to win an award.  (Doesn't everyone who wins an award say that?)  But I really wasn't thinking about it until I found myself scrolling down the awards list last week and at the very bottom there it was -- Little Pen Lost.

I know this doesn't make me special or a genius or anything, but it's nice to feel that something you did (along with many other talented people who deserve better than to be between parentheses) was recognized as good enough to win something.

Thank you, Broad Humor Film Festival, for the award, and for always inspiring me to do more.  Special thanks to Susan di Rende, the festival director, and Michelle Clay, who had to deal with our film getting to her at such a late hour.

And thank you again to all the people I mentioned in the post below, and also Lauren Duffy (who contributed greatly to two of the characters before production) and Jeremy Ward for doing such a perfect musical score.
