The first winner of the PocketMedia Film Festival: The University of Washington’s innovative Master of Communication in Digital Media program has announced the winners of its first-ever PocketMedia Film Festival — mini-movies shot entirely on small handheld cameras like Flip cams and cell phones. Mark Blasco won the competition with this video above. “When given the choice of shaving your chest or using Photoshop, I would use the latter,” he quipped at the award’s ceremony. Sponsors included Zooppa, Flip Video and Apple. Organizers hope the film festival will grow beyond the 35 entries this year into something much larger in years to come.
