16-Apr-2007 - Awards Ceremony & Online Voting |
For those of you who were at Salt Village you will know that at 7.00p.m.
last Saturday night the heavens opened up and poured down upon us for
about ten minutes; we had a crowd of about 500 and more on the way - the
Salt Bar was packed with families finishing their meals, about to join the
gathered crowd, friends of mine were in cars close to arrival for the big
night and when the rain came they turned away. The cancellation
announcement had to be made because the screen operators could not have
their equipment exposed to a downpour but.... the rain stopped.
Around 100 people stayed including the three Titans, Mark Minichiello,
Richard Mothers & Josh Graham, so we decided to go ahead with a few films
and the presentation of the award for Sponsor's Choice: Best Short Film
from a High School contestant - in view of the fact this award was won by
Team Tweed who had interviewed the Titans as part of their film, the
Titans made the presentation, 3 memberships to Fitness Attitude Health
Club and a $500 gift voucher to purchase sports clothing from Mind Over
Body Fitness Apparel. The crowd were enjoying themselves so much we
just went ahead and played - almost all - of the films and they looked
great. It was a pretty awesome experience for student filmmakers to
see their efforts on the big screen but we did not go ahead with the rest
of the awards. We considered that the contestants deserved more
than a depleted crowd to congratulate them and our sponsors deserved a big
round of appreciation too because each and every one of them has really
thrown a great deal of support and encouragement behind this initiative.
So we will have another occasion... very soon! (Aiming for a time
around May 12??) Keep checking this space - we are trying to get an
indoor venue. You will be required to have a free ticket.
Send a request to get on the list for this limited place event. We
will screen the finalist films again. Online voting will not begin
until after this event. Sorry to those who are logging on to view
and vote - you will have to wait a while longer. A big thank you to
all our contestants, our sponsors and to all of you who came out to support
the inaugural Sandscripts: Tales on the Tweed short film event.
Great effort!
