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!

Matt August 11, 2008 at 10:00 am: That was a great video, good work. Hope the contest goes well, but more importantly I hope your project goes well!
Clever Dude August 11, 2008 at 11:13 am: 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
