Seasons
The 2007 season yielded more than 3,000 entries to Apple Inc. Approximately 1900 of the entries made their way to the gallery for voting. The voting started more than a day after it was scheduled to. In late November 2007, the two grand prize winners of the festival were announced. The Public Rating Grand Prize Winner was the short film "Hobopus" made by Vassar Filmmakers. The Celebrity Judges Pick was "Imagine" made by the Advent Creative Team, consisting of Clay Olsen, Jackson Olsen, Cam Lee, Seth Jenks, Scott Hyldahl, and Pete Smithsuth. A third prize, the Slingjam Creative Award, was given to Team Geezers for their film "Suburban Tea."
The films can be viewed on the Apple Insomnia Film Festival main site.
Apple has announced that the 2008 Insomnia Film Festival has been postponed until after the holidays due to unexpected challenges. The website for the festival has since been removed, and Apple sent students an email saying that it was cancelled. No further word has been given as to the festival's state.

Famous quotes containing the word seasons:
“While I enjoy the friendship of the seasons I trust that nothing can make life a burden to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours,
Makes the night morning and the noontide night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
