Last night we screened the wonderful films of our contestants to a near sell-out crowd in the Byre Theatre. Thanks again to our contestants, judges, musicians and Byre staff for the event.

Our winners of the night were the awesome Maia Kall Fry in the Blockbuster category and audience choice award, the jointly wonderful Dylan James and Alex Budman in the Indie category and Jenna Al Ansari, Ollie Carr and Inez Gordon in our first time film maker Home Movie category.

Check out there films here.

Unfortunately, unforeseeable technical issues meant that not all the films were able to be to be shown. To that end, we're in the works to ensure those films are shown in the future. A huge apology to all the film makers whose hard work was not shown and please rest assured that your efforts were not without good cause.  

With less than 12 hours to go, the 60 Hour Film Blitz 2012 has surpassed all our expectations, both in terms of things needed to be done, as well as in terms of the satisfaction of doing said things.

We've essentially doubled our number of participants from last year (top that, next year's Blitz'ers!), which meant a lot more work for us but also a lot more anticipation about finally getting to watch all these ingenious and creative films shot around St Andrews.

As the clock is ticking, we're busy in our make-shift headquarters on the top floor of the Union (in the Media Suite, courtesy of Rogue Productions), making sure participants get all the assistance they require to make the films they want to make it. 

More updates to follow from the Blitz front...
