The Make Movie Festival was a great success! Phillip Torrone, David Pescovitz, and I worked together to gather all the submissions and explore the internet to find more movies about makers and making things. The movies were shown at the festival on the main stage between presentations. With so many great entries it was hard to pick a winner, but the Marks Brothers’ Fun with Dry Ice shined through. Their top notch explanations of how to have fun with dry ice was really great. The grand prize is a box set of Make Magazines signed by the Make Magazine staff, a Make: t-shirt for each brother, and Make: license plate covers, which they’ll have to wait until they can drive to use!

The movies played on the main stage between presenters and in the Mobmov vehicle which Bryan Kennedy put together. Usually his mobmov vehicle works like a portable drive in, but since it was so bright out he converted the actual car into a movie theater to showcase the Make Movies.

For all the other participants whose video made the cut, we’ll be sending you some special Make: gifts. Drop us an email if you haven’t heard from us with your address and we’ll send you some good Make: stuff! Have a great time watching the videos that were presented at the Make Movie Festival!
