A Refreshing Moment

Ok, this is one of the things that the internet is good for. The Coca Cola Refreshing Filmmaker's Award is a contest for budding film-makers run every year, and this year's theme is pretty funny. "This year’s screenplay should present a story that illustrates how Diet Coke is an ally for survival in a hectic everyday life… picking people up and calming them down… making their busy lives seem effortless." There are 10 finalists, and a friend of mine submitted the piece that is clearly the best of a good bunch (and I sincerely mean that by the way Paul) entitled 'The Working Girl'. If you have a minute, stop by and click "Submit vote". I suggest going straight to the voting form because you can view all the movies on the voting page and it's much easier. Each clip is only a few seconds long -- ignore the slightly obvious advertising angle and you have to admit they're pretty amusing.
