The "System" is designed especially in the area of cinema to keep out new talent. What we are left with is often at best mediocre films, non existent scripts, and bad acting.
This "System" victimizes those who have talent, but do not have the "connections", lack financial backing, or simply are blocked out by the whims of the small incestuous, corrupt, egomaniac circle of those who control whether a movie or show is ever made.
When something as imaginative as the Jameson First SHOT SHORT FILM FESTIVAL AWARD (Click here to read all about this AWARD PROGRAM AND HOW TO APPLY),
I found myself truly impressed by this Corporate Whiskey Company's public relations and it's innovative initiative to help those who would never have a chance to get into the public mainstream.
Below I have placed the 3 winning short films for the 2012 year and the 3 that won in the current 2013 year.
I am not exaggerating when I tell you that these 6 films are beyond excellent!
Take a few minutes and watch these 10 minute short films and see the true artistic cinema, writing, acting skills in their originality.
It will make you feel as I do, how very important it is too recognize that within our midst, we have so much wasted talent, who if only given a chance, can contribute much positive energy to our world.
