Check out my new project.

As many of you know I've started a new project with EW Scripps called Rootclip.com. Coolest part is that I'm heading out in a week to take the last contest Good Luck to be presented at the Traverse City Film Festival. I get to meet Michael Moore and hang with a bunch of film buffs. Should be a great time.

Rootclip.com is a collaborative video contest, and we just unveiled a new design and lots of celebrity judges. Do me a favor and pass this site along to the film buff in your life. I think they will get a kick out of it.

For those of you who haven't yet gotten involved with the site, it is a very unique concept. The Rootclip filmmakers create a short video clip or "Rootclip" to start the story. Then filmmakers and film enthusiasts watch the video, then shoot their own video of what they think happens next. The fun is that people who make the films, and the viewers like us get to vote on the best entries and basically direct the story. It's a lot like those choose-your-own-adventure books from when I was a kid.

Check out the our newest Rootclip Contest - Chance Encounter.

Chance Encounter is one of the best story lines we've developed so far.

Every day, Ryan Brown and his friend KC walk the same path to the same bus stop on their way to the same job. Not today. An incredible event forever changes the mundane lives of Ryan, KC, and an unknown news reporter waiting at the bus stop. Where will their journey lead? Only you can determine their path.

For this contest, Rootclip is giving away a $2,000.00 Cash Grand Prize, and each chapter winner will receive a $250 VISA Gift Card, a really Balance Beam from Trig Industries, a "Video for the Web" training DVD by VASST, and The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap by Stu Maschwitz,

So go ahead and check it out already.
