Thank you to everybody who submitted their videos, we received over 60 submissions. Due to the varying quality of videos, however, only about half of these were able to be used. This is due to low video quality, shaky camera work or videos recorded in the wrong aspect ratio (vertical frame instead of horizontal). I have done my best to incorporate every submission into this film!
