Apparently, our short film Eugene and the Worm was selected into the 2007 Chicago Short Film Festival. We are surprised we were never contacted about the news, can't believe we just found this out either, and the information would have been useful 12 months ago. Never the less, we are still happy for the selection and will slap ourselves on the back anyway.
