From January 4th through April 7th, Windows asked filmmakers from around the world to show off what Windows 7 and Windows Live could do. The contestants were asked to submit a short video that spoke directly to students.
The winning director, Josh Soskin, said, “I was really into this concept, that out of boredom we can create beauty–that the artistic process can be a form of salvation anywhere, even in the darkest places (which for young people is detention…). I started with that basic concept, that this kid, this ‘music head’ could make a song out of anything.”
