Fantastic Fest 2009 Bumper Results, Pt. 2!

Several people have written in to us concerned over the plan to announce the jury winners of the Fantastic Fest Bumper competition at the Awards Ceremony because they were very cocky, convinced that they were going to win, and wanted to be able to spend some of their Alamo prize money while they were in town for the festival. It just so happens that we kind of like cocky people, and we quickly realized that these concerns were completely valid, so we're going to go ahead and announce our jury prize winners now!

Jurors viewed ALL 58 of the 2009 Fantastic Fest Bumper videos, deliberated amongst themselves, and selected the following ten as their very favorites of the bunch. We were sticklers to the time limit for the grand prize, but for the jury-picked winners we went ahead and let them choose their absolute favorites, which was helpful since sooooo many entries were at least a couple of seconds over the time limit. Listed in alphabetic order by film title, the winners are:

The Dryad and the Centaur - electric sheep
Fantastic Attack - Take Mole to Your Leader (chicken)
Fantasutikki Kaiju - Rollerfeet.com
Garden Party Massacre - Baker's Dozen
Ice Cream!!! - Parallactic Pictures
Little Red Riding Hoodie - Comedia A Go-Go
Night of the Milk Beast - Scab Farm
The Number to Heaven -Yer Dead
The Weiner Dog Gang - The Weiner Dog Gang
Where's Your Mummy - BlueGogglesFilms

Each team will receive a $100 Alamo gift certificate to enjoy whatever they like throughout the festival.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and to everyone who's coming out to Fantastic Fest this year. We can't wait to hang out with you and watch your work up on the big screen! If you're one of the winners and you're coming by the festival, we'll have your gift card available through the Alamo managers. You'll need to have the team name and the email you used to sign up with, and they'll set you up. If you get confused at all, just find me somewhere in the theater or shoot me an email at henri (@) originalalamo.com and I'll find a time to come meet you.

The next Filmmaking Frenzy is BLOODSHOTS, our annual 48 hour horror filmmaking competition. Registration will be open for BLOODSHOTS on October 5, and our shooting weekend will begin on Friday, October 9 at 7pm and continue through Sunday, October 11 at 7pm. You can find information on that contest on our website right here.

Cheers,

Henri
