Here’s you’re opportunity to see and share the videos that resulted from our second annual Geneseo Insomnia Film Festival.
View the entries and vote for your favorite right here!
Students had a mere 24 hours to write, shoot, edit and post a three minute video using three (or more) “elements” from a list of twenty (below). Nineteen teams registered and sixteen completed the challenge for a total of 74 Geneseo students. Some of these teams have never shot/edited video before. The results range from fun and cute, to touching and dark.
Please enjoy them and take the time to “like” those videos you find most compelling. The team with the most “likes” by 10PM on Thursday April 11th will be our first place winner. I hope you enjoy the videos as much as we (GIFF Overlords and Participants, alike) enjoyed bringing them to you!
Please, share the links widely, ask your friends and family to help determine the 2013 GIFF Champions. If you’re interested in keeping up on this year’s results or want to be in the loop for next year, then simply “like” our Facebook page and follow us (@GeneseoInsomnia) on Twitter!
