short film: patricio ginelsa's the digital family

Just heard that our friend Patricio Ginelsa's four-minute short film The Digital Family recently won the Grand Prize in The DirecTV Film Challenge. He walks away with a nice cash prize and supreme bragging rights. Another big success for KidHeroes!

Patricio tells me that this is also a big deal for him because he considers it his first real short film... which seems sort of silly to me, since he's one of the most prolific filmmakers I know, as the director of a long list of really cool projects over the years.

In any case, in it's a nice little film. Watch The Digital Family at the Filmaka/DirecTV competition website here. You can also watch a cool little "Making of" video here. Congratulations, Patricio.
