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.

The Berlinale in Berlin is over now – and some of the Hollywood celebrities are just moving on to GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona: On Thursday, February 19th 2009, the winners of the MoFilm – Mobile Short Film Festivals will be awarded. Last year Robert Redford gave a keynote speech at the GSMA Mobile World Congress – this year the two-time Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey will bring a touch of Hollywood-glamor to Barcelona.
Registered users can watch the preliminary short list of contenders for MOFILM 2009 over the internet. In my eyes the turbo-date episodes are really worth taking a look at
So we can be curious about the lucky winners who will receive the MoFilm award from Kevin Spacey on stage on Thursday.
