"The driving force behind getting everyone to do [the competition] was Bunker Seyfert." Rudder said.
Seyfert, a senior film and video major at Drexel, worked as the producer and editor of "Pedal Co-op" and director of "The Way We Choose."
"Bunker organized all of the meetings, and really got everyone going," Pinchbeck said.
Both films worked on a non-existent budget. "[The budget] was just whatever people threw in from their own pockets," Pinchbeck said.
Rudder said, "We shot at the Reading Market Terminal for free, and the farm at the beginning is actually the pathway outside of [my] building."
Pinchbeck and Seyfert plan to divide the $5,000 prize between everyone involved in the film. Seyfert said, "We are always spending money out of our pockets to make films, so this is sort of a recuperation." As for the trip to Washington, D.C., they hope to send the whole team from both the documentary and the PSA.
"It's always nice to get recognized for work. A lot of the stuff we do as student film makers never sees the light of day outside of classrooms, so it's nice to get recognition from professionals outside of the industry," Pinchbeck said.
