The season ends and with it goes the ephemeral video I made for kimboekbinder​'s ultrasexy track Nightblooming. Now is your last chance to see it, before it's gone forever.

The short 'I Have Your Heart' animation I made with mollycrabapple & kimboekbinder is in an online film festival and has a chance at some serious prize money. Like $70,000 worth of serious! Money that we could use to make more films, more art, more animations. But we need your votes to help to score this sweet art-cash! With only 11 hours left to go, it's time to rally the troops and make a push for the top ten!  http://www.viewster.com/movie/1262-17529-000/i-have-your-heart

"I Have Your Heart," a short film by me (Kim Boekbinder) and Molly Crabapple and Jim Batt, is in an online festival with serious prize cash. To have a chance at it we need to be ranked in the top 10. We’re currently at #25. So close! To help us make it to the top ten, go watch and "like" the film, to have your "like" count you have to watch and "like" a few others (try to find some lower on the list than us - plenty of really great short films on there.)

Watch and like here: http://www.viewster.com/movie/1262-17529-000/i-have-your-heart

I can’t remember ever asking anyone to “vote” for anything I’ve done for one of these online competitions, but this one is real, for real money, and we worked so hard on this film, it would be super handy to have money to make more art. 

Thanks to all of you who have been voting and sharing. You have my heart, or I have yours, or both, back and forth. 4ever. <3 <3

There are numbers that matter and numbers that don’t matter. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and this is the first post in a series about numbers and art.

You can have a million youtube views and still be broke. You can have a million streams on Spotify and still be filing...
