The Bwog
Sleepless in John Jay

A group of first-years (who have collectively named themselves Floor 7 Productions) recently submitted their short film Waking Up and Other Hardships to Apple's '07 Insomnia Festival, in which high school and college student groups create their own three minutes of brilliance in under 24 hours based on a set of pre-listed elements. See if you can spot them for yourselves -- although it may be a bit difficult to rationally explain the huge oven mits.

You can rate the film until November 9th to help the group win gain their eternal glory, so go! Vote! This is probably the right weekend to do it, anyway.

“See if you can spot them for yourselves -- although it may be a bit difficult to rationally explain the huge oven mits.”

Come ON, Bwog...the correct shorthand for “mittens” is “mitts”.

considering that it was a Carman room, I’m gonna go out on the limb that #7 is on and say Carman 7.

Also, #9 beat me to it, but yeah...a black jacket, dress slacks, and a white dress shirt do not a tuxedo make.

the entry linked to by #5 trumps the posted one in pretty much every way... and no, I'm not them, either.

Okay, yeah, I liked the oven mitt one, but #5 is hilarious.

Why was this special again? Do I have to be an indie-aficionado to get it, or is it actually good?
