in Reviews & Giveaways

What would you do with a million dollars? After receiving treatments from over 300 filmmakers, four short-films have made it to the final round of the Discover Card Film Challenge. The films range from funny, to inspirational to dramatic, and most importantly they’re all original and entertaining.

The films are in support of Discover Card’s Everyday Giveaway in which one lucky card user will win $1,000,000 (discover.com/million).

My favorite is Clouds-

I love that the dad let go and saw the world through the eyes of his children.

The other entries-
