Shorty Award Video

Last night I wrote a quick post about Blobfest and Jillian receiving her Shorty Award for Fan Favorite. Here is the video of the ceremony including Blob Zombie and all of its Big Screen glory. Thanks to everyone who voted, hopefully, Jillian will continue her film career and create something even better.

Blob Zombie Wins!

It was a great moment watching Jillian head to the stage as she was awarded her Fan's Choice Shorty  Award for her movie Blob Zombie! This was a great flick and it was awesome hearing the crowd laugh and almost sing along to the great flick.

Here it is again for your viewing pleasure.

Behind the Scenes of Blob Zombie

Here are some random pictures from making Jillian's movie Blob Zombie for Blobfest! It is awesome that the girls did all the make-up and scripting. It was definitely a FUN project! Thanks to J.J. Abrams and Super 8 for showing kids that the can really make movies.



Jillian's Blobfest Video - Blob Zombie

The Shorty’s Contest is our way of paying homage to the late, great Shorty Yeaworth, Jr., director of The Blob. This year is our 5th annual contest and the films just keep getting better and better! To enter the contest just round up some willing victims, er friends and neighbors, and make a short film that is centered on The Blob, Blobfest, or sci-fi in general. Last year, I made a video for the contest (which won Fans Choice). This year, my daughter Jillian wanted to try her hand at filmmaking, and actually created a better flick than I did. Here is her movie Blob Zombie!
