Anyone into short films?  I AM.

I would like to congratulate @Patricio Ginelsa, a gifted director and good friend to The Zen Capitalist.

His film “The Digital Family” took Grand Prize for the DIRECTV FILM CHALLENGE at Filmaka.com.  After filtering through a sea of submissions and pitches, his film reigned supreme.

“The Digital Family” is a very moving short film about the integration of technology in today’s modern family.  The story line is well thought out and the actors simply deliver.  The scary thing about  the film is that it all goes down in 4 quick minutes.  You get a sense of DEPTH and COMPLETENESS that many short films seem to be lacking these days.

Congratulations to Patricio Ginelsa and crew on a job well done!  I’m sure the $15,000 cash prize is keeping your wallet happy.

Hope you enjoyed the film!

Valete! (Latin)
