Bart Simpson certainly knew how to rebel with style. In the spirit of his "Eat My Shorts" attitude towards life, here are the finalists to the Nokia Cinemaiksi 1st Philippine Advertising Congress Festival. I know that finding these online is long overdue since I last posted about Nokia Cinemaiksi but there's still time to bet on your favorites that break the rules of traditional film making before the grand finals in Subic where they will be shooting new short film entries. For the meantime,  take a pick and try to guess which film maker will win it. So eat my shorts. Or rather, their shorts.





All the Nokia Cinemaiksi short film entries were shot using a Nokia N95. For more details on these short film entries, visit the Nokia Cinemaiksi YouTube site at http://youtube.com/NokiaCinemaiksi.

This is a 60-second short film that my Art Director and I shot using a Nokia N95 for the Nokia Cinemaiksi challenge.

My Art Director partner and I had a short but exciting break from work last Friday when we represented our agency, Aspac/Law, as guests in Nokia Cinemaiksi. This short-film making challenge, featuring teams from different ad agencies, was held at the G Hotel Manila last October 19 to 20. After listening to speakers that included Jim Libiran (who won Best Picture in Cinemalaya for Tribu), we had the whole night until morning to shoot and edit a 60-second short film. The twist was that we could only use the Nokia N95 cellphone, which has very powerful multimedia capabilities.

Here's the quickie we produced entitled "Bayani":
