Back in traditional Rye form we have entered and failed to win a couple of new contests.

Joe Rye ranked as a finalist in the 15 Second Clip Contest sponsered by American Express and the Tribeca Film Festival. He didn't get the grand prize of 15 large, but managed to walk away with one of them new fandangled iPod things that play moving pictures and shit.

On a more positive note - we also entered the Howard Stern Film Festival competition and did not even receive a hastilty written email telling us how wretched they thought our little movie was. So it seems everything is back to normal. With the mediocrity and all.

We're all breathing sighs of relief.
