Fantastic Fest Bumper results!

First of all, I wanted to thank all the teams who submitted bumpers to the Fantastic Fest bumper contest. We had a great response from the contest and thanks to you, Fantastic Fest audiences will not be suffering from festival bumper fatigue. All of the entries we received will get screen time in front of fantastic fest features.

Based on the audience voting, we have determined the winners in the contest. The top ten films are as follows:

Report Card
Hyper Fighter Joseline: Cookie Warrior
Just a Day
Batty Daddy
Fist of Noodle
A Run to Remember
I Love You Jean-Claude Van Damme
Silent Lucidty
The Boy Who Can't Land
Barb's Baby Back Ribs

These will all be getting heavy rotation before films at the festival and each of these teams will get a $100 prize pack from the Alamo Drafthouse. We will be emailing each of the teams this week to arrange shipping.

The grand prize winner in the Fantastic Fest Bumper contest was both an audience and Fantastic Fest programming staff favorite. From the makers of Hobo With a Shotgun, again starring the curmudgeon hobo himself, Team YER DEAD takes the grand prize with REPORT CARD (embedded below).



Also, the programming staff is also awarding Black Magic Rollercoaster's DING DONG DASH a special jury mention. This film left many of us absolutely speechless and literally gasping for air. The full-frontal male nudity was a bit too spicy for the Filmmaking Frenzy audience at large and it was pulled from the website early in the voting. To the delight of few and the horror of many, however, I personally guarantee it will get PLENTY of screen time during the festival.

Thanks again everyone for taking part and we'll see you on the next Filmmaking Frenzy adventure!
