“We had a lot of fun shooting, running around downtown with me trying to look like a serious business guy. We knew that the success of the idea hinged on a natural, conversational delivery, and so the “interview” part of it was sort of half-written, half-improvised. Our goal was to approach the brief in an offbeat, unexpected way, to make something that totally doesn’t feel like a commercial. I’m really happy with the result, but I’m especially happy with all of the positive response from Hilton and The Audience Awards community. Winning the first place jury award just feels amazing. I plan to use the prize money for better sound and lighting equipment, and for funding future film projects. Film funding can be pretty hard to come by, so this prize means a lot, and it really will go a long way. ”
