Jake & Will: CONTEST WARRIORS

Two filmmakers chasing the dream of producing their first feature film...
...and financing it solely through winning video contests.


These last two commercials are the final losing entries for Video Contest Warriors. We have won some, we have lost some, but we have always done our best, and as we say farewell to contests, Will and I look to the future with open eyes. We did not reach our goal, but we endured through hard times and multiple losses, and we did the most important thing a creative can, we learned. We learned how to make better commercials, we learned what we were good at and what we need to try harder to achieve, and we learned what it means to keep trying despite rejection. Failure teaches us that a brighter future is just around the corner.

This is not the end for us, look for something amazing in the near future.

Jake, Will:

It has been an absolute pleasure and inspiration to watch you guys go through this process. The quality of your work has improved exponentially since I started following your blog.

I'm sorry to hear that this will be the end of Video Contest Warriors but I have no doubt that you both will move on to some phenomenal (paid) projects.

Bon Voyage!
