Five finalist were chosen out of over 150 entries for a chance at a development deal for a web series based on the submitted short. The theme of the contest, which worked well with the Autumn Haze short, was to “explore what happens after hours.” Autumn Haze writer/director Tony Samangy sees this as a major step forward for the independent production company. “It's great to get recognition from an established leader in independent filmmaking IFC. This justifies that we are on the right path." 3:18 has been in many film festivals and won a Silver Telly Award.
