Happy belated updates!
First and foremost, on behalf of BHP, I'd like to thank everybody that participated, volunteered, showed up, made pancakes, got copies of our DVDs, drank and sat down and watched an astounding amount of great short films at the Hi Mom! Film Festival down in Chapel Hill, NC. Special shout outs go to my main man, Waters who drove down from Roanoke and slept in a closet for two days (his idea). Uncle P, who I haven't seen in forever making it out for the trip to see his ass on the big screen getting bear-hunted. Herb and Erica, for keeping the drink/eat/consumption party train going strong. Khang, Matt, and the staff and volunteers at the Hi Mom! festival for treating us good despite our hillbilly-"ooooh free food!!!! TAKE THAT SHIT!" tendencies. Also, I would like to also give a lil personal shout-out to the gas station in VA that sold the NIGHT TRAIN EXPRESS that pulled me into station after it's quick consumption and made me miss the whole entire outdoor screening, passed out outside like a poor, lonely hobo.
There's so many good memories and we got alot of video of stupid stuff and we may or may not post some highlights of that on the site, but just a quick summary: Booze, 10+ meals in 2 days consisting of biscuits, cake batter shakes, pitas, chinese food, double breakfasts, yoo-hoo, and baby torso-sized burritos. We consumed so much food and drink down there, it was like school was out at the fat camp.
There were so many great films there. I can honestly say that none of them completely abhorred my tastes or senses. And coming from me, and the whole building experience of the "scene", that is a feeling you all too often sadly expect. So, that was a very pleasant surprise to see such quality works from all over being presented at the film festival. It kicked ass period and we were awfully glad to be a part of it.
Now, tonite we have just learned that we have tied for GRAND PRIZE of the festival!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is indeed, quite a shock to us and we are definitely honored to recieve this award, especially amongst a serious shitload of great short films from all over the country and even from other countries. It's quite an honor and by far, this is the greatest praise we have received ever and all I can say folks, we're gonna keep giving it to you harder, hotter, and heavier.
-Mike
