I made the top 20 in the FNBO challenge!

Basically FNBO Direct held a competition asking you to make a 60 second video explaining what you were saving for and what obstacles you were facing.

I got my film-making buddy and we got to work…


By being selected as a semi-finalist I won $500 (which I am going to split with my buddy of course) and now I have to fill out some forms and do an interview to see if I make it as a finalist. The top 5 finalists will get their savings matched (up to $5000) over the next 7 months.

I will let everyone know if I make it as a finalist!

That was a great video, good work. Hope the contest goes well, but more importantly I hope your project goes well!

Man, that was very nicely done and very professional. The soundtrack (voice and music) and the video could easily compete with many high budget commercials out there. Good job and I hope you win!

@Christian Finance
Yea, thanks to you! I heard about it from your site! I had a phone interview with them today and they asked how I found about the contest and made sure to tell them, so maybe they will reconsider your entry ;)
