Vote for your favorite Wyoming short film

From a Wyoming Film Office press release:

The Wyoming Film Office is opening its doors for the public to vote in this year's Wyoming Short Film Contest. To watch this year's 25 top-scoring videos and make your selection for "People's Choice," visit http://filmwyoming.blogspot.com/2008/11/2nd-annual-wyoming-short-film-contest.html

The contest ends Thursday, May 21 with the winners being announced the following day. While the People's Choice is largely an honorary award, the contest's Grand Prize Winner, judged by a panel of film professionals and industry representatives, will walk away with $25,000. Prize money will go towards the winner's next made-in-Wyoming film.

Wyomingarts has to admit that he/she/it is a bit biased with this project. Our department's videographer and indie filmmaker, Dean Peterson, has a film in the top 25. Yes, it's about Wyoming but it's so much more than that. And funny!
