@rooftopfilms wins our SXSW Twitter review contest!

March 27th, 2009

We asked you to prove that brevity is the soul of wit. These 140-character reviews submitted via Twitter drove the point home.

Grand prize winner @rooftopfilms won two passes to the Atlanta Film Festival and a $50 Alamo Drafthouse gift card with this review of Winnebago Man:

YouTube’s World’s Angriest Man gets in touch w/ inner misanthrope;
softens when he meets ‘net generation face2face. Let’s Tweet him!

Daily winners of the contest were: @micahprude, @lindseybe, @snax, @nickrob, @shanezilla, @mmhaustin, @Jenn_Brown, and @toddlucier. If you were a daily winner and have not picked up your t-shirt, please send a direct message to @festg for more information.

The final winner was picked from the finalists by our panel of judges, about whom you can read here: http://www.bside.com/about/genius/sxswtweet/

We will be conducting more Twitter contests at festivals to come; if you’d like to learn about these as we announce them, please follow @festg on Twitter.
