The version of Homeowner that went up to the Storyhive site wasn't the greatest quality. Here is a link to a better version.
Homeowner - Movie
The short film is done and was released on Telus Storyhive. Link Below.
It was a whirlwind week of voting, and evangelizing the movie. The Storyhive competition which will be decided on Mar 11th is more about building your audience then getting votes, so I spent all week pumping up the twitter account, @homeownermovie which now has over 750 and also getting word on on our Facebook page.
The movie itself had over 3500 views in the 5 days it was released. Not too shabby thanks to some tweet outs from some friends. The reception has been amazing and everyone seems to want more.
Feel free to watch the movie on Telus' website here. Unfortunately the Youtube encoding makes it look really low quality. Maybe I'll repost it as a higher resolution sometime.
For now, enjoy.

A great honour to be sure.
Telus Storyhive Grant of $10,000 awarded
Great news. We have been awarded a production grant of $10,000 to shoot a short film. The film that we wrote is called homeowner, and stars the amazingly talented Briana Buckmaster as our lead. The story is about Mary who purchases he new home and moves in, only to find the house haunted by the spirit of someone who isn't even dead.... yet.
We have lock a location, and the crew is assembled and we go to picture in early January. The turn around for the film is less then a month after we shoot, so its going to be a hectic rush.
With on 10 mins of film I think we should be able to do it.
The Werido Hero - Award Winning short
