THANK YOU EVERYONE. I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR SOMEDAY:)
"CONVICTION" Contest Answers Revealed:)
As promised, here are the correct answers to all of the contest questions according to the panel of ME:
1. "HOW MANY TIMES DOES "THE WINTER STALKER" SAY KATIE'S NAME?"
This one is easy. The answer is 7.
2. "HOW MANY TIMES DOES MY SIGNATURE "FACE" LOGO APPEAR IN THE ENTIRE VIDEO?"
This one was SEMI easy, depending on if you watched it on your phone or on a computer. The answer is 2. First, on the SNOWMAN's face in front of the cabin. Then blatantly at the end, burning up.
3. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE WORD "KATIE" APPEAR ON SCREEN IN THE ENTIRE VIDEO?
This one was easy, all you had to do was watch it a couple times. Nothing hiding too much. The answer is 5. There was ONE additional time where it showed PART of Katie, as it said KAT. But KAT isn't KATIE, is it?:) BOOM!
4. "HOW MANY LOCKS DOES KATIE'S FRONT DOOR HAVE?"
This answer required you to notice 2 parts, and put them together in a little Memento-style way. The answer is THREE locks total. Here is how it is determined:
At 1:15 into the video, we see Santa's Blueprint of "Katie's Place". On his blueprint, it says "3 Locks. 1 Deadbolt". Now, that COULD mean 4 locks total. Or 3 Locks total and ONE is a deadbolt. But lets go backward for a minute...
At 0:09 into the video, Katie opens her front door and turns the light on for a split second, where we can see that YES, its 3 locks total, with one of them being a deadbolt.
5. "WHAT IS THE EXACT SECOND OF THE FILM THAT "BUNNYWITH" FIRST APPEARS ON SCREEN IN HIS CAMEO?"
This was the toughest one, apparently, as only a handful of people got it correct. Granted, you needed to pay CLOSE attention AND know that Bunnywith comes in various sizes. The answer is AT 0:44 into the video, Bunnywith Tentacles can be seen in the arms of Katie on her bed. I highlighted it here so you can see for yourself:)
Anyway, congrats to the ten winners. I had a lot of fun putting this together and Stephen Reedy and the whole crew did such an amazing job on this video I am stoked to be a part of it, and I think this whole video contest thing is something we would like to do a lot more. So be on the lookout for more videos and more fun:) Happy Holidays, everyone!

Some fun facts about the contest
I hope everyone is having at least a little fun participating in the "Spirit Of Conviction" Contest and not being too frustrated. Here are some tips and some info about it on my end so you can have all the tools you need to try one last time tomorrow to win! Word.
1. DO NOT SEND YOUR EMAIL/ANSWER UNTIL AS CLOSE TO 12:25:09 PM STANDARD PACIFIC TIME.
2. Q: "How do I know what time your clock is set to?? I live somewhere where time is different or something!" It doesn't matter what time any of my personal clocks are set to. I am going by a timestamp on the email, as well as the actual universal time of the world. To see the actual constant PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, you can go to this link:
http://24timezones.com/world_directory/current_san_francisco_time.php
3. Q: "But like, my email sometimes doesn't send it right away and I don't know for sure because e-mail is invisible and kind of imaginary!" A: That is where the "CHANCE" and "LUCK" of contests come into play. You can send as many emails as you want to if you think that your one email will be at the wrong time.
4. Q: "I know I answered correctly and I sent it at the right time!? Why didn't I win!?" A: The contest is being received EXTREMELY well, and each day, more people enter the contest. To cue you in on our end, yesterday we received over 300 correct answers within seconds of the designated time. We are doing our best to select the winners that fit all of the criteria as closely as possible. Again, that's where a little LUCK needs to come into play:) Additionally, are you sure you answered correctly? Pay CLOSE attention to the film. I will post all of the answers when the contest is done. Some questions are simple. One or 2 were a little tougher.
5. Q: "AAAARGGHUUUGGG. I wannaaaa winnnnn." A:You have one more chance. Good luck, soldier.

ANNOUNCEMENT, NEW FILM, CONTEST, AND BAM!!!
"Hello, Katie...Did you know I've been...watching you?"
I know I promised you all something, so, therefore, the chase is being cut to. NOW. I know I said noon. But I got anxious. And besides, though I can't be sure, it's probably noon somewhere.
Here are detailed instructions/orders for your eyes, ears and brain:
Step 1:
WATCH THIS BRAND NEW 2-MINUTE SHORT ROMANTIC FILM, TITLED "THE WINTER STALKER", THAT I PRODUCED WITH AWESOME WRITER/DIRECTOR STEPHEN REEDY:
Direct link to film on Vimeo:
http://www.vimeo.com/8234515
Direct link to film on YouTube if you are on your phone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2EK6iYqsuE
Step 2:
Digitally pass this film around to everyone you love like Tommy Wisseau's football. Warning: I will be able to tell if you did NAWWT pass it around. And I might like you less. Probably not, but maybe.
Step 3: Watch it again. And this time PAY ATTENTION. "Well, golly. Why? Is there going to be a darn quiz or somethin'?" YES, Beaver, there is. In fact, there are going to be FIVE QUIZZES. Over the next 5 days.
Step 4: Come back here TOMORROW, FRIDAY, December 18th, @ 10 AM (Pacific US Standard Time) and learn about a 5-Times-In-A-Lifetime Contest that revolves around this insanely awesome film. If you can't make it tomorrow, come the following day. That's right, over the next FIVE (5) DAYS you will have a new chance to win ONE OF THESE:

The LOCKENESS MONSTER @ GALLERY 1988
Yes, my Losties, the above image is a painting I just created, called "The Lockeness Monster", depicting John Locke from my favorite television show, LOST, and his violent bare man-hands bringing recent murderous holiday joy to a genetically engineered, and probably super smart shark created by the Dharma Initiative. "Why in the Swan did you choose to draw something that never happened on that show, Alex? You are stupid" is something I am sure you may be saying right about now. "Oh, Con-trare, Moan Frair" I say in respone to you. (I would have spelled that in correct French spelling but, according to LOST, no one can understand French which is why that signal went unanswered for 17 years or something.)
The scene above DID actually happen, but was deemed too bloody to ever air on television. And it was one of my favorite scenes from Season 2. As pretty much one of the creators of LOST, don't you think I would know that?! Sheesh.
Anyway, what? "Why in Jacob's name did I draw a LOST-related drawing in the first place?" is what you are asking now? Well, duh, I think it's pretty obvious. It was for this SUPER SECRET "LOST" THEMED ART SHOW AT GALLERY 1988 IN LA that is opening secretly TONIGHT, DECEMBER 15! That's right. I said it. Get on it. Here's the official INFO for the opening TONIGHT!
"Ronie Midfew Arts and DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com are proud to announce the LOST Underground Art Project, an art show at Gallery1988:LA celebrating one of the greatest television programs of all-time. This event, opening December 15th from 7-10 PM will mark the first time that all 16 prints, released and SOLD OUT over the past 3 months at DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com, will be seen in one room! In addition to the prints, over 20 artists will be creating original LOST-inspired paintings and sculptures (all available for purchase!) to commemorate the event. These artists are:
Alex Pardee - Ben Strawn - Carlos Ramos - Chris Ryniak - Dan Lydersen -
Dan May - Danielle Buerli - Edwin Ushiro - Eric Fortune - Jeff McMillan -
Jeremy Asher Lynch - Julian Callos - Ken Garduno - Kirk Demarais -
Lauren Gregg - Leontine Greenberg - Luke Berliner - Mark Bodnar - Mark Brown - Martin Wittfooth -
Misha (from the mind of Paul Scheer) - Ralph Cosentino - Scott Campbell - Wade Schin - 64 Colors - Brent Nolasco -
Dave Pressler - Jason Limon - Jeremiah Ketner - Jesse Hernandez - Jon Burgerman - KaNo -
Leah Palmer - Lunabee - Motorbot - Nathan Spoor - Nemo - Pocketwookie - Reactor 88 - Scribe
This night will also have MANY surprises. You might want to line up early for this one."
I actually heard that there were already people lined up last night! Crazy. If i didnt have pneumonia I would be there for sure (more on that later....)
Here is comedian Paul Scheer announcing the secret show in front of Greg Simkins beautiful art.
Second to last, one of my good friends and fellow LOST art-contributor, Jeff McMillan, showed me a glimpse of HIS HUGE BEAUTIFUL piece for the show.
Damn, looks like he did my SECOND favorite scene, where they all inhaled the Black Smoke and all of their heads grew gigantically out of the mountains and they all accused each other of owning a VW bus but no one really KNEW who owned it. A secret i hope they finally reveal in the last season!
And lastly, though I figured you knew this already if you watched the show, but if not, I got to live a dream a couple of years ago as I actually did a brief acting stint on the show playing a mysterious voodoo-loving baseball player named Mr Eko who got trapped on the island after fellow teammate Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn threw a screwball and broke Eko's magic voodoo teleportation lamp. Getting a chance to act alongside such great people as The Stepfather and a guy from Party Of 5 that was the best 6 months of my life. I miss you guys<3
In closing. Go to the show. I wish i could. But in case you cant tell by this perfectly linear and to the point post, I'm heavily medicated. Word.
