It was featured both on the front page of MySpace, and I was also a featured filmmaker in the filmmaking section. Anyway, the coolest thing about being showcased in this way was hearing from a lot of great people.
One message that stood out was from a young duo, the Carberry brothers from Ohio.
Here's an TV piece from FOX where the producer of Slingblade mentions them:
I was very impressed with the work of these 17 year old kids. You can see their work here

Anyway, now they are 18, and out in LA.
Yesterday, I had the good fortune of hanging out with them, and checking out their work. I was blown away with what they are doing- incredibly sophisticated stuff for two 18 year olds. It made me happy to see these kids with tools to chase their dreams so early. They have a lightness I hope they never lose. But along with that they had depth, and don't just want to make cool, flashy technically impressive films- they also want to make work that comes from their heart. And when I spoke with them about serious filmmakers, like Gus Van Sant, they really seemed to get it. At their young age they have a handle on their craft, while still in possession of the humility necessary to progress in one's art. I look forward to seeing where they go, learning from them, and supporting them in their dreams.
