The deadline for History Is___ film submissions has now passed, and we've been thrilled to see a wide variety of perspectives represented in the films that we received over the weekend.  Now it's time for the public to have their say and vote for their favorite History Is___ films. How do you vote? Just visit the voting page here.

 Online voting is open through noon on Friday, May 11^th, and the winner of Viewer's Choice Category will be awarded with $1,000! You only get one vote, but can change your vote as often as you like. - Helen

There's only a few days left until our deadline (Saturday, March 31^st) for submissions! We can't wait to see all the amazing films that have been created this year for the History Is__ film competition, and we'll be excited to share all submitted films with you, your friends, family, neighbors, and strangers for  on-line voting for the Viewer's Choice Award (Viewer's Choice Award winner will get $1,000 and invites to exclusive events, memberships to local  museum and film nonprofits, plus lots and lots of public exposure for your film). 

In the meantime, get inspired by watching one of last year's winning films, or drop by this Wednesday's Happy Hour, hosted by the Office of Film + Music, to see what other local filmmakers are up to.

Here at MOHAI, we're exceedingly pleased to see that Drew Christie's film, History Is Us, is being featured as part of our local PBS station, KCTS 9's, Reel NW programming. Christie won "Best in Show" in last year's History Is___ film competition for his animated film that takes you on a humorous and high-speed trip through human history. Watch History Is Us here and find out more about this talented local filmmaker here. Perhaps you'll get some inspiration for your own History Is___ film!
