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:
“Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours,
Makes the night morning and the noontide night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I will venture to affirm, that the three seasons wherein our corn has miscarried did no more contribute to our present misery, than one spoonful of water thrown upon a rat already drowned would contribute to his death; and that the present plentiful harvest, although it should be followed by a dozen ensuing, would no more restore us, than it would the rat aforesaid to put him near the fire, which might indeed warm his fur-coat, but never bring him back to life.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“Let there be seasons so that our tongues will be rich in asparagus and limes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
