Brandon Obama's SWOscars Waiting Hall: Pre SWOSCARS

I went to Brandon Obama's SWOscars Waiting Hall and there were a lot of amazing filmmakers, producers, and just people waiting for the big reveal! I caught up with a few well known  filmmakers and producers for some quick interviews.

At the start of the party, I met up with China Kitty who entered in the movie category this year with a short film called 'Post-Breakup'.
MT: What inspired you to start to direct and film?
CK: Well, it was SWOscars 2013 and I saw films. I already loved real life films so I said, 'What can stop me from sharing my stories with the world?'
MT: Do you think your new short film, Post-Breakup, can bring you a Golden Dan this year?
CK: No. I put it together at the last minute because I couldn't get a real movie done. I was too busy with school to make something worthy of a Dan.
MT: And lastly, what do you like most about the SWOscars?
CK: The spaces, fashion, meeting directors, all of it!

So, apparently, China doesn't think she'll win a Golden Dan but others do.

I caught up with Austin Kincaid, who also entered the movie category this year with a film called 'Defection'
MT: What inspired you to start filming?
AK: I have always had an interest in making films and when I discovered the community, I had to get in.
MT: Do you think you could bring in a Golden Dan this year?
AK: Though to say. There are so many great entries this year. I can wish. though.
 
Austin lost connection during the interview but I did get to meet Ace Nightkaster. Many say he's definitely bringing home a Dan with his music video based off of 'Heartbreak Girl' from 5SOS (5 seconds of Summer), one of the many boybands out there.

MT: What inspired you to start filmmaking?
AN: Just something to do I guess.
MT: Why did you pick the song 'Heartbreak Girl' for your entry?
AN: I thought the song was pretty catchy and it made sense to put a story line to it.
MT: Who do you think will bring home the Dan for the music video category besides yourself?
AN: I'm not sure about the names of the directors but I have a few in mind.

After I finished my interview, I decided to interview a few smallworldians, one being Sapphire Marie (3).
MT: What brings you here tonight?
SM: Well, I'm very excited for the SWOscars and I'm just hanging around until it starts.
MT: What are you excited for this year and who do you think will bring home a Dan?
SM: I'm excited to see who will win a shiny Dan and I think Ryan Hack (3) or Austin Kincaid will win.

On another note, we're very excited for Ant Starz to bring his A-Game with his new project, The Fashion Police. He'll be saying who's hot and who's not along with Shaymonda Brown. These two celebrities with definitely bring some excitement tonight.
