Blowing Bubbles moves on to the Gen Art Film Festival in New York

Blowing Bubbles has been awarded best film in the 2009 National 24 Hour Film Race and moves on to the Gen Art Film Festival in New York.

A team of Minneapolis filmmakers has won a national contest that challenged entrants to write, shoot, edit, and score a complete short film in 24 hours.

Their winning entry, Blowing Bubbles, is a searing psychological portrait of a bubble-blowing clown in the midst of a career crisis or at least as searing as you can get in four minutes, which is all they were allowed.

"It's a no-sleep situation," says Bubbles' assistant editor, Jack Paar, who was one of seven local crew members who created and filmed the project last April as part of the 24-Hour Film Race competition, which took place in 20 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

Their effort virtually swept the Minneapolis competition, beating out 26 other local films and winning 11 of 16 categories, including Best Film. That win automatically entered them in the national judging against the best films from 19 other cities. This week Blowing Bubbles was announced as the national winner.

"We won $2,500 in prize money that we're donating to Haitian relief," Paar says. Soon after the film was featured at the Gen Art Film Festival in New York City.
