Our little film "Fly on Out" which won the top prize at the Vision Research/AbelCine Miro High-Speed Challenge was accepted into the 17th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival, sponsored by BET and HBO! We screened with a series of other great short films on the mission to redefine and advance the roles of multicultural constituents in contemporary filmed entertainment. It all took place at AMC 34th Street Theaters in NYC. Thank you to all of our supporters who came out to see the film on the big screen! It was truly and amazing weekend.

At the close of the event, after having the opportunity to meet many incredible filmmakers and see even more wonderful films, House of Nod Creative Director Robert Kolodny and Producer Bennett Elliott were invited to the festival's awards ceremony. Much to our happy surprise, Fly on Out was awarded the Audience Choice Prize for best short film, which was an incredible honor for us! We are so thankful to the Urbanworld film festival's staff and programmers for allowing us to be part of this absolutely stunning festival. A huge thanks for the entire cast and crew of Fly on Out who made this film happen by really putting their hearts and souls into this project...that's real House of Nod style.
