Part of the fun of gathering a crew for a feature film is seeing and discussing other projects that they are or have been a part of.  Bringing these people onto our cast and crew, we want to do all we can to see them become successful and their other projects flourish.  Our editor, Dave Ward, is currently involved in a film making contest called Doorpost.  After a tough fought first round, Dave’s team was selected as one of the ten finalists!  Their entry for the second round is a fun comedy, family, heist film set in a Chuck-E-Cheese inspired place called “Play Land“.  Check out the trailer below:

So, how can you help out?  Here are the five easy steps:

1.)  Sign up – go to this website http://www.thedoorpost.com/register/ and fill all red required fields (you can put a fake phone number if you wish).  That should take you to the next page where it asks you to upload a photo.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPLOAD A PHOTO.  Click continue.

2.)  That takes you to a page labeled http://www.thedoorpost.com/myaccount/ –  Up in the right hand corner of that page is a search field.  Type into that field “Play Land”  Search by “film” and then hit search.

3.)  This will take you to a new web page in a new window. Click the screenshot of the film. The film should start playing, BUT, IN ORDER TO VOTE make sure to click on the LIGHT BLUE “VOTE NOW” button that appears on the LEFT HAND side of the screen next to the “play button.”

4.)  This takes you to another window where you can vote.  THIS IS WHERE IT GETS A BIT COMPLICATED.  You have to watch and vote on my film and ALL OTHER films (all the way through!) in order for your vote to count.  So after my films has run its course, go to the 7 ranking systems at the bottom of the screen (“Portrayal of topic” “storytelling” “acting” etc.).  Slide the bar over towards “Excellent” on all 7 of these categories.  AFTER DOING THAT FOR ALL 7 CATEGORIES, go to the bottom of the page and click the button labeled VOTE NOW!

5.)  Next, watch and vote how you see fit on the remaining finalists.  You must vote on all ten films for your vote to count!
