The 2011 Iron Filmmaker Contest was held on January 29th at the New Rheem Theatre. Iron Filmmaker is a competition in which participants are given a surprise theme and 24 hours to script, shoot, edit, and submit a film based on that theme. This year's theme was "Be careful of what you wish for." There were 19 films submitted and shown at the New Rheem Theatre. Each audience member was given a ballot to vote for the best films after seeing all them. The films presented cliché wishes, wishes that had a deeper meaning to them, absurd wishes, and wishes that people don't actually mean.
In the Best Picture category, a team from just down the 680 corridor won the competition with the film Bob's Day Off. An Orinda team came in 2nd place, and Campolindo student filmmakers were awarded third place. Moraga Hardware & Lumber owner Bill Snider took first place honors in the Best Performance category for his role in the three minute video. The Dream Team's film was about a man wishing on coin thrown into a fountain.
