The blue text below is copied from an old thread from when I started the "Drop Your Shorts" idea on Twitter. It should give you an idea what it's all about.
Hey up everyone... I just had an idea....
As you may know, as well as this site, I also run a Twitter account to keep people up to date with all things Meadows.
Here it is if you want to follow:
twitter.com/ShadyMeadows
The idea I just had in my special brain is that I could do a weekly mention on the Twitter account about one or two short films that have been posted on the forum here!
As I type this, the Meadows Twitter feed has 5425 followers, so that's the potential audience that a mention of a short film could reach!
This will no doubt lead to upset and tears because I'll probably just pick at random, and people will start bashing me for picking what I picked and ignoring other films. But for now, I think that's how I'll do it and see how people respond to it on Twitter (they may get sick of it and demand that all non-Meadows stuff is kept away from the Twitter feed!).
Thoughts.
From that original idea, I have been taking Twitter submissions lately and retweeting those.
As an idea, I am thinking of using this "Drop Your Shorts" sub-board for people to submit their shorts when I ask for them on Twitter.
This means that this sub-board is open for anyone to post a message! You don't have to be a member.
This could end in a mess, but I'm going to give it a go.
Oh.. and the Meadows Twitter account now has just under 22,000 followers as I type this. That's a big potential audience!
