DAY 21: AUSTRALIA'S FIRST MOBILE FILM FESTIVAL (& ROADTRIP TO TUGGERAH)


The Mobile Screenfest is a film festival where all of the entries have been filmed on mobile phones... hence the name.  There have been a few of these around the world but Tuesday saw the first ever Mobile Film Festival in Australia, and we were there, having a new cinematic and new media experience for 30 Days.

I wasn't expecting the quality to be great to be honest, but surprisingly there was some great stuff in there!  There were categories for best drama, comedy, horror etc.. my favourites were '15 Gay Terms' http://vzaar.com/videos/403756 and 'The Blair Spider Project'
(Can't find the video but it was pretty funny).

For the UK crew... one of the prizes was also presented by the bloke who was in Home & Away... remember him=>


Here he is presenting one of the awards (you can just make him out if you squint a bit) he's the one on the right...



And that was the Mobile Screenfest 2010.



ON A SIDE NOTE...There was another first achieved today in the 'travel- new places never visited' category... my first ever trip to TUGGERAH, about an hour and a half drive north of Sydney for a meeting.

Shame we didn't have time for a swim before we had to get back to the office!
