I wanted to thank you for the support you have given me. For those who have voted and left comments I thank you!
The blogger “Your Big Break Critic” or YBBC has been the link to the judges and the overall e-host for this process. Last week YBBC posted a blog entry with a list with about 50 names of “notable mention”.
So I’ve promised to keep you in the loop so here’s the most up to date YBBC blog so you can really see what is happening.
I’d love your feedback whether you be viewing this on my blog, facebook page or the page website.
Enjoy!

Your Big Break Critic in Stuff to Think About
Hope you’re all managing to while away the long hours following the close of submissions. Of course, there are now more than a thousand entries online to keep you occupied, along with our Facebook page – or how about spending some time writing your next film? After all, a filmmaker’s work is never done!
And of course, nor is Your Big Break Critic’s. So I thought I’d share some stats with you, straight from our technical department:
1080 Your Big Break entries were received
The site has been viewed over 2 million times since launch
Over 250,000 visitors watched videos or read scripts on the site during the submissions period – that’s like filling the average movie theatre 1,000 times
The total time spent by all visitors on the site up to the close of submissions was 1 year, 9 months, 8 days, 11 hours, 44 minutes and 17 seconds.
That’s a whole lot of hours racked up on the site in just over a month. And as Edan Cohen pointed out on the YBB Facebook page, that’s also a whole lot of people who are prepared to drop everything and fly to New Zealand at a moment’s notice! But honestly, who wouldn’t?
Soon: more Filmmaker interviews, Kiwi Classics and Spotlights – oh, and did I mention? Somewhere in the midst of all that a bunch of judges will let us know which five out of the 1080 entries received will be heading to New Zealand in just a few days to take their films from screenplay to screen. How could I have left out a little detail like that?
