Hey everybody, I was just pointed to an active conversation about The 1 Second Film on IMDb's contributor message board at this link: http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000042/thread/65938494

Feel free to join the conversation. It looks interesting; I'm going to read through it tomorrow and post a reply. We are in the midst of pollishing the site; we have had Jason's programming, and he fixed a lot of little things, from the user search engine to the producer blogs. Sean has started adding our latest producers directly into the new system manually, which is exciting. We have about 200 new producers to add manually; the rest we were able to import bulk. Meanwhile, Mike has been working on design elements, which are shaping up, and I am assembling a list of priorities/fixes. We are hoping to beta test the new site this weekend, make final tweeks next week, and hopefully launch (!) soon after. Can't wait to share this with all of you. Also, thanks to everyone who has sent concerned e-mails or called regarding the IMDb situation, I appreciate everyones understanding, and am glad our producers are taking this in stride. We will try to figure out what the situation is and let everyone know what we find out. Meanwhile, new producers continue to trickle in. We now have over 7,000 producers! Check out some new producer pics and this cool animation from Dan MacKenzie, a young filmmaker/producer who sent in $19.88 from Gorham, Maine:
