As it turns out, our previous assumptions of the science behind the 48hfp judging were wrong. And for 2010, South County United is very happy that our hypotheses were indeed way off base.
We thought that the order of the films on the original screening night was the order of judging results -- meaning, the last film showed in each screening was considered the best, and the ranking went down from there. "High as a Kite" screened in 5th place out of the 12 qualifying films in our Group H this year. So we thought we were toast when it came to making it to the "Best of DC" round.
Thankfully we were quite wrong. Our film DID make the Best of DC round. And as it turns out, the 'top 5 films' from our group (by order of their screening), did not all make it to the Best of DC round. It appears we had 3 films from Group H make it to the next round, so our film screening in 5th place last week did not have any bearing on how the judges eventually ranked the films.
Needless to say, we're incredibly relieved and excited to have the prestige of making it to the Best of DC round for our 2nd year in a row. We've been able to watch a few of the other "Best of DC" films online and they are pretty fantastic.
So we'll eat my piece of humble pie now, and revel in this accomplishment as our 48hfp resume grows.
