Watch Some Analog Lines
The short essay film I made last fall, which a lot of people think is the best work I've done yet, is finally available for viewing - but not through my site. The film is one of three finalists in the documentary category of the SXSWClick Short Film Festival. It's up for a jury prize (which includes an automatic slot in next year's SXSW Film Festival), but there's also an audience award up for grabs, and to that end all of the finalists have been made available for download in gorgeous Quicktime HD. You can watch it streaming online, download it to your iPod, etc.
And then feel free to vote! You can vote once a day for most of July, and while I really don't feel like staging a campaign or urging people to go out of their way to send those ballots in, I certainly won't complain if the mood strikes anyone to do so. I do feel like urging people to take a look at the film, though, because I'm really proud of it, and want people to see it.
So. Without further ado, go here and watch it. And watch the other films, too.
I've submitted Some Analog Lines a few other festivals over the past two months, so hopefully it'll be showing up some more in the future.

How about...a free badge and a floor to sleep on? Because that's all I'll probably get, too.
But yeah, if it gets in, you guys have to come to Austin. No question. We'll figure it out.

You should link the pic icon on the left column to the Click page, cause eventually this thread will be below the fold.

I absolutely loved your video essay, David. Very well cut together. Excellent job! And I voted for it, of course!

Thanks folks. I'm really glad you liked it. And DeK, I just checked out your blog - awesome stuff! A lot of those shorts you link to are amazing (I especially loved Skyfall). Thanks for stopping by.
My friend Jim is suggesting that I reconsider my passive stance on promoting this thing...so if any of you feel like spreading the word about, I'd appreciate it.
