War of Films (April edition) Winner

We are only one week away from rewarding one filmmaker with $1000. Every vote you make this week will help a filmmaker win our monthly prize!

Award amount change: As of April 22, 2010, our daily award for the most active voter outside of the US, UK, or Canada has been changed to $10 from $25. The $100 amount for the voter residing in one of the three countries above has not changed.

New Upload System

This week, we finished implementing our brand new uploading system! The new system is simpler, more user-friendly, and compatible with Google Chrome and Safari. Most importantly, the new system enables users to delete their own files so that they can have complete control over their uploads. If you have any questions about our new uploading system, please contact us at info@filmannex.com.
