It’s been a big week for Gregg Helvey and the crew at Kavi. We’ve been fortunate to be involved in shaping the website for Kavi for the last several months. (read the story here) I just got a quick update on what’s happening and thought you’d want to check it out too.

Kavi is on the shortlist for the Oscars!! Having won the Student Academy Award® gold medal, Kavi qualified for Oscar 2010 consideration, and “The 10 List” was announced on Friday. Of the 10 shortlisted films, three to five will be nominated on Feb 2nd for an Oscar in the “Live Action Short” category. Fingers crossed!

Online voting has begun and we need your help. Here’s what you can do:

1. Go to http://www.damah.com/theater
2. Choose Deidox|Lindsay
3. Vote for the film

1st place would mean $5000 and some more exposure for Deidox. Even better, the money would allow Chronicle Project to tell more Deidox stories in the future.

Please vote for Deidox | Lindsay, and check out the other films while you’re there too. The film is also embeddable for blogs, to be shared on facebook, etc. I think the great part about this short is that Lindsay is the real deal!


If you like the film – Vote for it now!!

Next Release Deidox | Dawn

On September 15 the next film in the Deidox series comes out. It’s called Deidox | Dawn, telling the story of a reluctant mother of three that discovers her unexpected purpose. Then, in October Chronicle Project will release Deidox | Li Yang, offering a rare glimpse into the underground church in China. Also, in conjunction with a partnership with Out:think Group, there’s some adjustments happening to the Deidox website – there was an adjustment when the third film (Deon) was released as well.

If you’d like to be involved in the webcast with the filmmakers talking about the process of making these shorts, a preview of the new release and a Q&A – please email me or contact me via Twitter.

We’re proud to be so close to this amazing project as it continues to take shape. Which Deidox film is your favorite?
