Hey Greg,

Well, it turned out that there were not as many directors that wanted to
participate as I had hoped.  So, unfortunately the contest was cancelled.

However, I'm sure we will have one some time soon.  There is a lot bigger
active audience and pool of directors now.  Give it another 6 months and I'm
sure there will be another contest under way.


Your idea sounds fantastic, though.  I'd love to see it.  I think the "Based On
a True Story" theme is a great one, so I might do that one again.

Personally, I had the idea to do Hillary and Norgay's first sucessful ascent of
Everest.  I went to Nepal this year, and was really inspired.
