Good News Everyone!

Nathanael Shelton-Richards (a.k.a. my nephew) entered his short film, Take Out the Garbage, in the Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival for Children, AND WON! first prize for grade 10 - 12 category. Way to go, Nat!

His film is about a boy named, uh, Nathanael, who continuously procrastinates to avoid taking out the garbage. After he dozes off several times rather than completing his chore, Nathanael learns that sometimes the only way to escape responsibility is to escape reality.

I, ahem, have a small role in the film. My first "project" really. I am, of course, onto something else at the moment...keeping it hush, hush for the time being.

The festival launched in 1998 with an attendance of 2,300, and has grown at a phenomenal pace, increasing its audience to over 25,000 in 2007.
