When you say "today is the last day to register" you mean 10/13? (As when you posted it would have been 10/13 in the UK, but still 10/12 in the US..)

Yeah, I don't think I can squeeze myself into the media mailer package with the dvd, otherwise I'd be there. :D
Maybe next year, eh knightly? ;) But, Eddie, you must be sure to go see our short at the screening... oh, it will be at the screening, didn't you know? :P
Well, that's the plan anyway.

Well, we did a one day shoot and am currently editing it the film now. I thought that it would run around 4-5 minutes. I started to sweat a bit as the running time creeped closer and closer to 10-minutes. Managed to complete the first cut with a running time of 9:30. Cutting it close!

It's official now... I mailed the film today. :)
Ack.. $46.50 to get it there before the cutoff date, but that puts it in their hands on Friday, so I guess it's all good.
I'm not at liberty to post the film (yet)... but it looks pretty good, IMHO.
For the moment, let me just share a screen cap:

How is it costing you $46.50 from the Twin Cities and it's costing me $54.50 from Chicago? Sheesh.
Nice screen cap, btw. Can't wait to see the film.

I dunno.. $54.50 sounds like UPS to me.. I went the USPS route, guaranteed delivery on Friday the 27th, and less than UPS.. :)

$54.50 for FedEx. I don't trust the post office.

have to give them some credit for being the only self funded gov't agency :)

I suppose it's nice to have a statutory monopoly, though. Also, before 1971, the taxpayers were funding it's losses, so you might say they inherited the assets, resources, and customer base from an organization paid for with public money. As much as I love my local post office, I think the post office would go under if they had to compete on a level playing field.
Well i shall look forward to seeing your horror films at the London screening, and shall let you know of the reaction.
My own film When Death Calls followed the idea of putting the EVIL into dEVILs night, however progress was slow and completion before the deadline is most unlikely. But the film will be finished eventually and will also improve the state of evil in the World! ;)
Good luck and Devilspeed!

Here's the part that'll really get you upset then Thunderclap..
The 'Global Express Guarenteed' Delivery through the USPS, uses Fedex as the transporter. ;)

well, don't feel bad, when I was pricing things for shipping last week, according to the online FedEx quote, it would have run me $122... blah.

Grrr...
Apparently a signature was required with the way I shipped my film, and there wasn't anyone around to sign when they tried to deliver it. :(

Damn... that sucks! Is it going to be re-delivered before the 29th? I'd suggest e-mail them and inform them of the situation. I'm sure they'll understand.

Already have... in fact they had told me previously that they would take it on the 30th if it didn't arrive until then, but I figured that would significantly reduce the likelihood of actually being screened if it didn't arrive until the day before the screening... :(
