To answer your question: Nope. The producers talked about how they cast the show and that's very much what they do. They want contestants that the audience will root for, not necessarily the most talented filmmakers. If you'll notice, most of the contestants have a "story" or an angle. Also, given the shows dismal ratings, I doubt very much that there will be a second season. Which is fine with me. The last thing we need is an American Idol for directors that makes everybody and their mother think they can direct films. The industry is crowded enough as it is. Thanks, William.

Have they approached you about being on the next season of the show ? From what I've seen of the short films shown on the show and your work you guys would smoke the competition if given the chance.
