Um, Im caucation (michael moore was right in "Bowling for Columbine," it is hard to spell) does that mean I can't be in this? And what is the deffinition for "African American"? Cause I know lots of ppl who think theyre black, can it just be an "African American" state fo mind?

p.s. This isn't meant to be a joke, nor should it be taken as one.

What are your policies on copyrighted music? I know this is always a touchy subject but I'm just wondering, thanks.

It kind of makes me mad when things are only for "african americans" I mean If i posted something that said "White People Only" I would be called racist and probobly have people egging my house. I am not racist at all and It aggrivates me when things are exclusivly for one race only. Just my opinion though and Im not trying to be a jerk. Hopefully I have been on here and enough of you know me by now to know that.

I think there are two different TV shows - one for AMERICAN SHORT FILMS and one for AFRICAN-AMERCIAN SHORT FILMS.

At least that's the way I read it!

That's the way I understood it too Mark.

And Mike, i know exactly where you are coming from.

****! I'm not American either...double wammy

Sometimes, it must suck to be canadian, huh Kane?

Only in the winter, believe it or not, I hate, hate , hate, hate, hate snow

I would get tired of snow if that's all there was for weeks/months. How cold are your winter's up there? I can get warm, in the winter, I just can't get cool in the summer!

Of course, that's easy for me to say - in NC (where the avg temperature in winter is like 48F or so). And if it does snow/sleet - as soon as the first flake falls, every grocery store becomes packed with psychotic shoppers; water, bread and milk evaporate in thin air (except the potato bread and that lactose free-milkette) and the schools close for weeks!

Then you have to watch TV through a 70% sized screen, while the remaining 30% is taken up by some obnoxious graphic showing us every church and day care that is running two hours behind!

Ok, end rant.

Website is being revamped to include all of our shows and have a database of previously shown films, but the old site is www.africanamericanfilmmakers.com

We have 2 shows. ** "American Short Films", a nationally televised showcase of short films
of ALL genres, is accepting submissions for it's 2006 season." You may submit to either.

For the "African American Short Film" show think Quentin Tarantino to Pulp Fiction. The African American Short Film's show goal is to have an African American presence on the screen.

Cool site. But people with low-res displays must hate that splash page.

Yes, you are. You're from North America, aren't you?

I'm amazed no one has asked this yet...

can you clarify what exactly the phrase "nationally televised" infers? i.e. - any partnerships with networks that you are able to disclose at this point? And if you can't mention, can you at least specify if you have reached an agreement, are working on an agreement, or have yet to reach that stage?
