Ah, April…We’ll be quite busy here at CINE HQ this month, as the first round of judging for the Spring 2010 Competition will kick off, AND we’ll be planning our June awards ceremony, screenings and workshops – at which we may or may not be launching our new CINE Golden Flamingo. We can neither confirm nor deny.

Happy April Fools Day, everyone!

“The trick in life isn’t in getting what you want…It’s wanting it after you get it.”
- Katharine Hepburn, Love Affair

This quote is so appropriate to life – people want, want, want, but once you get it, you simply don’t want it anymore. For too many, the wanting is the goal – not the having and keeping.

Though it’s rather daunting for a 53-year old organization to dive headfirst into the world of blogging and social media (follow us on Twitter! And Facebook!), we’re excited to have the opportunity to engage with those who are making great media; and whether you are an entertainment mogul or a student filmmaker with a camera, a wing and a prayer, all are welcome – and represented.

Since it’s time for the Spring 2010 CINE Competition (have you entered yet?), we’ll have tips for entrants (including what not to do if you’re planning on entering); tell us what’s on your mind by submitting your Competition questions. And in the future, keep an eye out for exclusive news, updates, CINE winner Q&As and much more.

Finally, let us know what else you’d like to see in this space. We’re here to serve you, so holler (metaphorically) with your ideas.

Thanks for joining us in the blogosphere!
