Cheers guys! It was a really good night on Wednesday (quite apart from getting runner-up). The standard of films was very high and hopefully the grand national final (8.30pm, 3 July on C4) will see a Wellington winner! Good luck Smashing Pants.

Spooce Media - 'Agent Post, or: How I Stopped Being Pretentious and Learned to Love Cliche' (Christchurch)

And there's also the possibility of one or two Wellington films being selected at wildcard finalists!

Hey Wellingtonista, how come you didn't tell us the finals were being shown beforehand?

Were they at the Embassy again? Damn, I would have gone ...

Also, we would've told you closer to the time but we (and by "we" I mean "I") didn't even remember early enough to get tickets for ourselves (again, "me")
