sorta sordid (but not really)

just a quick update re: Icebreaker. as the myspace contest came to a close there were accusations of tampering and fraud and on-line conspiracies spreading like wildfire. mostly, a bunch of the filmmakers appeared to be getting bombarded with negative votes by supporters of this or that other film, empty myspace accounts were being created for the sole purpose of inflating/deflating voting percentages, people were turning off their voting functions so as to preserve their high scores, etc. basically, it was kind of a mess and a lot of people got all twisted around about it.

so, the good people at fox and the pga opted to dismiss the voting process entirely and make an independent assessment of which 12 entries should proceed to round 2. this is currently in process and the expected due date for the result is still TBD. in fact, almost everything (which, btw, you can purchase from our sidebar!) about this contest is still TBD - including the revised rules and regulations!

so, basically, thank you to everyone who watched the film and gave us a positive vote and passed the link along to their friends. we do appreciate it. and, even though none of this counts toward whether or not we'll make it into the next round, please do continue to share the film with anyone who might enjoy it.

best,
