Scandal – Two projects slipped through that were over the 3:00 minute time limit, including James Weston’s avante garde Wind<\/strong>. WTF, he’s an M3 co-founder… can’t anyone be trusted?!<\/p>\n

Aside from this outrageous breach of protocol AND a chronic snafu with the countdown movies, the 2012 Winter Micro Movie Marathon was the best yet, with over 31 entries totaling 113 minutes and 17 seconds.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Movie Makers don’t do cliche categories like best actor and like that. Boring! The Major Awards for the Winter 2012 Micro Movie Marathon are tuned to the diverse energy of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The coveted Schr\u00f6dinger’s Cat<\/strong>, refers to the famous thought experiment <\/a>proposed by Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger in which a cat is simultaneously dead and alive. Schr\u00f6dinger’s Cat is awarded to the movie that audience members cannot decide whether they love or hate. The award is embodied by a sun bleached thigh bone possibly belonging to a feral cat but more likely a racoon, discovered by James Weston Schaberg and Mykl Werth on a blustery dune hike. Patrick Kelly<\/strong> took Schr\u00f6dingers Cat for Jesus on the Floor<\/strong>, (6 red marbles). This is Patrick’s second M33M Major Award, ugoboy!<\/p>\n

The prestigious Brilliant Beginnings <\/strong>recognizes emerging movie makers. Like a whiff of something wonderful or the fizz and sputter that precedes the upward whoosh of a handcrafted D engine bottle rocket, Brilliant Beginnings is awarded to the project that is not quite a shoe, but so much more than a sock. Brilliant Beginnings is symbolized by a pair of red plaid knitted knee highs, complete with thin rubber soles and fuzzy shin tassels. Jimmy<\/strong> Tuffts<\/strong> snagged Brilliant Beginnings for his eerie CLIP_028<\/strong>, (5 green marbles)<\/p>\n

The iconic Nest of the Northlings<\/strong> is awarded to the project that either proposes or reveals a righteous regional aesthetic for northwestern Michigan. Imagine a gun show crossed with the Bioneers<\/a> – what can encompass the totality of our magnificent mix? To represent the Nest of the Northlings,\u00a0 a two dollar bill from an imaginary utopian Northern Nation that we might someday aspire to be, the paper ancestor of the Toonie. Nest of the Northlings went to Jeff Lange<\/strong> for What’s in a Michigan Wetland<\/strong>, (6 dusky lavender marbles). Joe Carter accepted.<\/p>\n
