15 seconds of fame...

Two of my good friends made a 15 second film for a competition put on by American Express and the Tribeca Film Festival... and won.

The prize? An ipod. . . and a five-day trip to New York to appear at the festival, where they will receive an award and rub elbows with folks like M. Night Shyamalan and Martin Scorsese. . .and $15,000.

Wow. That's like, one grand per second.

To see the clip, go here, click gallery, and search by name for Cody Russell. The winning clip is called unfinished.

Wow again.
