Congratulations!!!!

[Naked~Frog]

I wanna see it! WHERE CAN I SEE THIS FILM!

 

And congratulations! That's quite an enviable accomplishment!

[The_Fnorrll_Reborn]

Wow! Awesomeness! Well done!

 

Is the film 45 minutes of you running around various random locations screaming?

[Nyanna al'Meara]

Thanks! Hehe Fnorrll ^^no (interesting idea actually) , it's a short film- a 4 min documentary-ish one. It's got hip hop/dance, interviews and a dolphin in it lol. The topic was young Kiwis inspiring change in their communities, or something like that - I forget the exact wording. Anyway it's about this girl who had serious difficulties with drug abuse/family violence at a scarily early age, but she motivated herself to change her life around completely, i.e. went on the Spirit Of New Zealand trainee sailing ship, taught dance classes, etc, and wants to be a youth worker when she gets older (she's a bit younger than me O.o)

 

We tried uploading it to vimeo, but everyone doing the competition had problems with that...so I'll try putting it on youtube maybe...if we ever get to town with the laptop because out here the internet's not fast enough

[Tynaal Consen]

That's awesome Nyanna!!!!!! I'm pretty sure the whole Tower is proud of you

 

Also you definitely must show it to us once you get it uploaded

[Elgee]

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, NYANNA !!!!! *Tacklesnugglebites the Screaming Novice*

 

I do hope you'll be able to upload it to youtube soon. It's a fascinating story, and I'm sure we would all love to see it. Well done, girl! *beams proudly*

[Ledinna Sedai]

WOW! That's just incredible! I'm so happy for you! Now I have to see it somehow somewhere!

[Millon]

WOW!! Nya, that is spectacular! Congrats darlin'! I cannot wait to see it. That sounds like a beautiful story. Good luck.

Remember in your win speech that it's a great honor just to be nominated. Don't forget the rest of us little people when you are famous.

[Nyanna al'Meara]

...I need a win speech? O.o

lol, yeah I am totally honored, to the point of being shell-shocked...I never thought I'd even be considered. And I will never forget anyone here

 

Poet...you're a film maker?!!! *immediately pesters with all knids of questions* lol

I'm not a film maker yet, really. This is the first film I've ever made... :P

 

Thanks everyone!
