The short film If Kids Ruled The World took 2nd place at the 2008 Greenlight Film Festival last Thursday to the delight of all involved. Over a dozen of the film's child actors were on hand for the award. The children were so excited that they swarmed the stage immediately after the film was shown. Luckily it was past the actors' bedtimes, so their parents were able to usher them off the stage, but not until they made off with a trophy, cash and a lovely gift basket that included an AM-only radio.

Evil Bag Island is a floating mass of disposable plastic shopping bags (and other floating garbage) that is prominently featured in the short film If Kids Ruled The World, a finalist in the upcoming Palo Alto Greenlight Film Festival.
