Updates should start up again soon, but in the meantime PLEASE READ

So, I just got the new hard drive, so hopefully soon updates will start up again. In the meantime I do have one thing I would like to request to readers.

So, as you know, I was participating in the Campus MovieFest, a challenge to create at least one five minute movie within a week. My team, Flaming Muffin Productions submitted two movies, one of which has made the Top 16 at Rutgers. It isn't going to Regionals... yet. We still have a chance though! If we get enough votes, we can make it to Regionals as RU's Wildcard.

This movie is extremely important to me. It is called Twice A Minute, and it adresses the issue of human trafficking both on a national and international scale. If it gets further, it could qualify for the Elfenworks prize, which is a ten thousand dollar grant awarded to a team who makes a movie adressing issues about poverty, human rights, etc.

I have been trying to help raise awareness about human trafficking since I read Patricia McCormick's book Sold my junior year of high school (If you're friends with me on Facebook, chances are you've seen me post links to Love146 or other groups dedicated to fighting modern day slavery. The prize potential is kind of nice, but that was not my main goal in suggesting we make Twice A Minute. My main goal was to show people a darker side of society that many people either don't know about or are so uncomfortable with that they ignore it. If Twice A Minute gets further in this competition, it means that a wider audience will see this video, and more people will understand what countless women and children are going through every day.

So I have a special request to you, readers. If you could just take four or five minutes of your time, please watch the movie (I'm posting the link at the end of this entry). If you like what you see, help us stand a chance at making Regionals by texting VOTE300 to 41234.

This movie means a lot to me, so I would really appreciate it if you guys would help me out. Love you all!

Hope to be updating again soon,

Bad News....

First off, I apologize for the lack of updates. I'm in a show, and my week has gotten very hectic. I also have to doubly apologize, because unfortunately, updates are going to be postponed until further notice because not only is it tech week for GODSPELL at Cabaret Theater (CHECK IT OUT IF YOU ARE ON CAMPUS!) but my hard drived died and I have to wait a few days to get a new one. :( I am literally typing this at a computer lab on campus. This really stinks. A lot. :(
