The Divorce Hotline

Looks like I'm in another competition folks! This time it's with Humor Hotlines. A few weeks ago I sent in a treatment for the video competition and mine (along with 6 other filmmakers) was chosen for production. The final product is a stylish parody of pharmaceutical commercials and ongoing state of how wacky and misguided divorce has become in American culture.

Our tagline:

Have you ever been so fed up with your significant other's attitude it just made you want to kick a baby? Do spurts of rationalizing homicide against your spouse seem to come more frequently every moment they're around you? It's time to take a stand and say, "My marriage sucks! I need a divorce." by calling the Divorce Help Hotline where all help is 100% free!

The guideline for the competition is simple. Whoever gets the most views wins $750. Whoever gets the most calls to the hotline number gets $750. If you get both its $1500. Everyone who has enjoyed my work in the past take out the time to support me in this competition!

Without you this cannot come together. Add this to Stumbleupon and Reddit. Retweet THIS on twitter. Reblog it and like it on Tumblr. Share the video on Facebook. Anywhere else on the internet that you can think of to share it please do! The contest ends September 30th so there isn't much time!

Thanks in advance I appreciate everyone who keeps up with Que The Lights.

Risk

Now that I'm back in school a good amount of the non-photography/film work is back. One of the most important being my Residential Advisor job. I'm the go-to person for about 30-40 students when something goes wrong or if they need some friendly guidance.

It's an amazing job. I honestly believe if I didn't enjoy multimedia so much I'd work in counseling or a relations orientated profession.

Every year before school begins we're required to participate in RA training. It's a two week training process focusing on team building and student management. We have an abundance of communities which brings a competitive feel to training. Enter Roll Call.

Every community produces a video for our annual Roll Call competition. There is no prize just bragging rights for a year. We won last year and my boss wanted a repeat so I was asked/force to produce the video.




Sadly, we didn't win. The short didn't follow the non-violent guidelines of the competition to which I say...you gave us the game of RISK! You know the one about conquer and domination. Once I overcame the bitter taste of indifference and defeat I was happy to heard the judges loved it.

I'll just remember to read the rules a little more carefully in the future.

On another note. I'm now on tumblr! I decided to name the new entity The Photographer's Domain. This is not a transition from Que The Lights. I've found a lot of inspiration for my work on tumblr and decided to enter the sphere of creativity I see there on a regular basis.
