On Friday, March 1st, a special screening and awards ceremony was held at AbelCine's New York location. The occasion was to announce the winner of the Miro High-Speed Inspiration Challenge, which began in July of last year. All five of the films were screened, and each team talked a bit about their inspiration and experiences working with the Miro camera. Jon Fauer, of Film and Digital Times, was the event's MC.

UPDATE: All the projects have now been submitted, and we are truly impressed with what each and every finalist has achieved. For more photos and updates about the films, visit our dedicated Miro Facebook page - we'll be posting one film each day next week, so be sure to check them out!
