We came. We saw. We conquered. We also got wasted at the clubs, but that bit’s irrelevant (or the details too hazy to recall).

Yes indeed Ladies and Gentlemen. As a group of friends, we originally came out of the woodwork to try our hand at making an amateur short 5 minute film to enter in the FAVC Kula Film Awards 2010. No expectations were held, no previous film making experiences were brought to the bench, and a meager $80FJ (roughly $40USD) of a budget was scrapped together to facilitate the vision of one group of slightly aimless guys (and 1 girl ).

Now a month later, the Kula Film Awards over, we have managed to win the first prize of the Open Category Film Awards section. A fancy cheque, an A4 certificate, and history was made. While we never got to make a thank you speech of any sort, the open bar at the end of the show more then made up for the organisation’s shortcoming. Which, by any standard, was pretty short.

But that is a QQ post for another day. For now, we look to the future to creating another whip-cracking, back-breaking, tear-inducing, blood gorging, but all round worthwhile film project to slave over.
