Park&Co YouTube Film Festival Premieres

September 5th, 2008 | Posted by Joshua Feig

To spark some independent creativity among our staff and have a little “viral” fun for ourselves, we’ve launched our own film festival, YouTube style. Park&Co employees were invited to create a short film — no more than 1 minute — and post it on the Park&Co YouTube Channel. The films were premiered in a gala event (beer and fruit platter) here on September 3. The filmmakers were fêted and the audience was treated to singing dogs, bat-swinging kids, exploding websites, our house garage band, pundits and buffoons, a hobo with a bag fetish, and a sneaky gnome.

Though the films were a big hit, this competition rewards marketing mastery over creative wizardry. The grand prize will go to the film with most views after 30 days. Now that you know the stakes, let the clicking begin.

    I’ve had a lot of interesting questions about my film ( http://tinyurl.com/64w6a4). Give me your thoughts on the gnome, the Rubik’s cube, and the meaning of “puos no ethos” at http://GnomeCraft.com.

    An outstanding crop of films. I am shocked at the amount of digital fire effects that Park&Co was able to muster up for this affair.

    Open the voting to the blogosphere! Why should only P&C employees get to vote? Isn’t that anti-social media in spirit and execution?

    Maybe there should be bidding via eBay and PayPal and winners can embed the film on their blog - like buying the film rights at Sundance (if Sundance were at the corner of 44th and Indian School).

    Great job P&C squad. Now get back to work.
