The WINNER!
It's official! Reelblack's latest short film production, THE 13TH AMENDMENT was recently awarded the Grand Jury Prize for the first ever CNN IREPORT FILM FESTIVAL. Mike said he chose the title to remind folks that there wasn't always a time when all Americans had the right of freedom. One of our greatest privileges is the Right To Vote. Please Vote on November 4.
IReport is CNN's user-generated video blog. The 13th Amendment was chosen among hundreds of submissions dealing with this year's election submitted from around the world. Grand Prize is a trip for two to his 2009 Presidential Inauguration and a hi-def video camera.
CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!
From one Philly independant filmmaker to another. At the most important time in history, you documented a Reel moment in history, as your 90 year old grandmother, Helen went to vote for Barack Obama. What a powerful 5 minutes!
