... you can't help respecting somebody who can spell Tuesday, even if he doesn't spell it right :)

Hello everyone!

I hope this beautiful Tuesday (check the spelling... decided to go for a normal spelling today) is finding you well!  I have a couple of repetitive things to say... so bear with me :)

I've posted up our weekly videos to youtube and facebook!  So I know that you've most likely already watched them (hint, hint, wink, wink, if you haven't), but if you have any friends that you think might be interested in entering, or voting... get them on either one of those sites for a little sample!  Remember that I change them every week, so if you haven't seen your film up yet, don't worry, I promise I'm keeping track :).  

Since I mentioned it... VOTING!!  I've been trying my hardest to promote voting... but I need your help!  Like I said earlier, if you want me to write up a quick e-blast you can send to out, just let me know.  I can come up with something quick and fun for you to send out, and I'll even personalize it for free!

Speaking of film submissions... We've been having a couple issues with the file types that filmmakers have been submitting.  And it's completely our fault!  I've noticed that we don't have exact requirements or recommendations for submissions.  SO... I am working with our web consultant from Civic Pixel to get together a detailed blurb for us.  As soon as we get that done I will email to everyone as well as post it everywhere I possibly can.  I really wouldn't want to lose a film just because of a formatting issue.  That would definitely make me a sad panda :(

On the upswing, has anyone Googled us lately?  I do it every once in awhile... you know it's just as tempting as Googling your own name :)  Well if you haven't... YOU SHOULD!  It's pretty awesome how many people are talking about us, and blogging about us, and how many hits Cinemocracy.org is getting.  It's great news for all of you who have submitted films.  I'm pretty excited about it!

Ok, I'm almost done... I promise.  The last thing I wanted to remind you guys of is to send me your pictures!  Like I said before, if you took pictures while you filmed, or have pictures of you at a Cinemocracy event, GET THEM TO ME!!  I want some evidence that you guys are AWESOME and that Cinemocracy follow suit!  Remember that when you send them (acallis@cinemocracy.org) make sure to include captions.  I want names of those in the photo as well as the title of your film submission (if you have one) and the name of the photographer!  I wouldn't want anyone getting left out of all of this fun!

Alright guys, I got to GET.  I'm sure I'll talk to you soon,

A 

P.S. by the way... did I mention that I like how I can use Google in the past tense AND as a verb!!
