Hi All,

I'm a recent graduate of Chapman University in Orange, California.

My 140 second film "NEXT"...(sound familiar?) was selected as a top 50 finalist in the Nikon Film Festival from more than 1,200 entries.

I got the idea for "NEXT" from working part-time, behind-the-counter jobs throughout New Jersey and California at GameStop, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, McDonalds, a receptionist position and a cashier at a liquor store. So if you live in those states, I might have even served you (you can see me at the end of the film).

Please consider supporting my entry. Here is the link where you can watch my film and vote:

If you like "Next", mouse over and click on 5 stars below the title to cast your vote for the film in the Audience Award. (No registration required)

If you leave a comment, I promise to read it. (You must be registered to comment). Favorable comments will increase my chances of winning the Audience and / or Juried awards. If I win, I will use my share to pay back my (very) hefty college loans.

Please pass this on and spread the word.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Kristen
