"Sold Out" at Cinemocracy
The folks at the Denver Film Society and the city's host committee for the Democratic Convention have launched Cinemocracy.org - "The Film Festival at the 2008 Democratic Convention." The site is collecting 5-minute films themed around defining democracy. The top 25 will air during the Democratic Convention week and a winner will get a slot at the 31st Denver Film Festival.
The site's been open for a few months now, and one film is emerging as the most popular. Nick Newell's "Sold Out," about his frustrating quest to get a convention ticket.
It's probably not what the Host Committe had in mind.
Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com.
