Kevin Spacey awarded the turbo dating comedy episode “English as a Second Language” with the grand prize of the MOFILM-jury. Frank Chindamo produced the 3 Minute shortfilm directed by Jocelyn Stamat.
The british charmer Rupert is played by Greg Ellis, Alexa Havins plays the American Sarah and model Claudia Mason is the woman Genevieve with a lovely french accent from Paris.
Congratulations – the shortfilm really deserves it.
But one interesting question is open: How will they merchandise the shorts? I would immediately think about the short film section in a store of a fruit company in Cupertino: They sell shortfilms for $1.99. I think they are quite successful in merchendising music, mobile applications and also TV-series and movies But that would probably not taste good for the GSMA Mobile World Congress – one of the partners of the MoFilm festival: Finally the fruit company just ignored the congress and the fair even in the second year of the iPhone boom. and even though everyone talks about the iDanger.

You probably did not win one of the academy awards this year – and if you did: Congratulations! But if you are experimenting with mobile phone video – you should take a break in the French capital Paris. For the third time the Pocket Film Festival is taking place in the art center Centre Pompidou. The festival is focusing on art films realised with a mobile phone. It’s interesting to see how art is using that new media channel – and this technology is getting part of our culture.

Entry deadline for submissions: March, 30th, 2007.
