After all the votes were tallied, the winner of our first ever Blowtorch Short Film Big Screen Challenge was Coalin Smith from Spring Mills, PA.

As the winner, Coalin and a friend were flown out to LA, all expenses paid, to work with our people to bring his vision to Life. Together, we developed the idea, shot it and showed him the way to properly walk the red carpet for his big time movie premier.

Picture this - everybody's got a story. Some good, some, well, not so much. So, we created a promotion for folks to submit a pitch of their best short film idea. And the one that our community members voted to green light, we produced to premier, nationwide, up on the big screen. The winning short will play before a Blowtorch feature film in 2008.

People found out about the Big Screen Challenge through our Blowtorch Facebook application. And the contest ran for 6 weeks across our distributed engagement networks.
