The Official Selection rating and reviewing period of our festival has now come to an end, and the Ten Finalists for the 3rd TriggerStreet.com On-Line Short Film Festival of the Third Season have been chosen. In alphabetical order, they are as follows:


* A Black and White World by Dr O

* Auteur by BrandtStreet

* Better Dead than Red by discopimpin

* The Crimes of Mister Lowry by torresstudios

* Dark Me5h by rozhall

* Fall of Man by tmeasom

* Frank & Anger by robtherobot

* Hot Foam by Spinnaz

* Son of Devil by ry4

Congratulations and good luck to all the finalists!
