I'd Like to Thank the Judges

"Solvent," our 48-hr train wreck of good intentions, was nominated for 6 awards in the contest/festival: Best Film, Directing, Writing, Music, Editing, and Graphics. You may remember the aftermath of that project, which was a clusterfuck of ditched footage and cobbled together voiceover. Like the majestic phoenix, this project was burned to the ground to form something that, in the eyes of some beholders, is beautiful. It's a bit baffling, because "Solvent" really is a pretty incoherent video, but as there is obviously no accounting for taste, there's something to be said for style without substance, at least if you're trying to win awards.
