Long story short, I won. There were 20 movies shown at the event tonight, and mine was last (they showed them alphabetically). A couple things I remember: during the part of the movie where you see the auto dealership and rows of cars, a lot of people kind of went "aww." Like they GOT it. That really meant a lot to me, as did the amount of applause when it was done. I've never had a movie shown in that kind of environment (heck, I've never even made a movie like this!), but it was wonderful.

And yes, they did give me an ice scraper.

3) How apropo "You Auto Be in Pictures". :) That ice scraper may be the most valuable piece come winter. :)

For all you poured into it--it's nice you got to be there for the accolades and appreciation and understanding with an audience. Move over, Spielberg!

8) Congratulations, Dave! The money and swag is great, but maybe even better is the confidence and inspiration this will give you to keep making movies.

Oh, and you could use some of that dough to build a decent dolly.

11) Woot!!! (I had to say it since no one else did.) Congratulations, Dave! You deserve it. Joe sent me a text the minute your win was announced. Awesome loot along with the cheque. Hey, send the Ghirardelli my way. (I'll trade you for a shovel cuke from Joe's garden) ((JK, Joe))
