Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
Hungarian born filmmaker/photographer Zsolt Haraszti has just won the award for Best Cinematography at the second annual iPhone Film Festival for his film Year 2010 in 365 Seconds, which as the title implies, is a look at his experiences in 2010 through the lens of an iPhone. These 365 seconds are filled with footage from both his work and free time and occur all over the world in places such as London, Budapest, P?cs and various states of the US.
The rules to this competition were simple: All footage must be shot with an iPhone. Any accessories deemed worthy by the entrant could be used, and that is exactly what Zsolt did. Over the entire year of 2010 Zsolt shot over 100 hours of footage on his iPhone with the help of the XShot iPhone Case with Tripod Adapter that a friend had given to him as a gift.
XShots unique iPhone Case allowed Zsolt to mount his iPhone easily on a tripod for steady footage when capturing this time-lapse style film.
When asked about his experience with the product, Haraszti stated, I was thrilled upon receiving the XShot iPhone Case as a gift from a friend and excited to put it to use right away. The XShot Case was very helpful in creating my iPhone film. It truly is a useful product and i would recommend it to any iPhone user to maximize their photo and video taking capabilities.
We are so excited to learn about Zsolts iPhone Film Festival award and how our product helped him make his film. Better filming and photography with an iPhone by amateurs and professionals is why we developed the XShot iPhone Case, said Michael Daoud, co-founder of XShot LLC.
Year 2010 in 365 Seconds will be screened at the 2012 Macworld | iWorld Expo in San Francisco, CA. Macworld | iWorld is the premier event for people who love all things Apple.

Indiana Home Builder Earns Coveted Angie’s List Super Service Award
Anderson, IN (PRWEB) January 6, 2011
Indiana Home Builder Hallmark Homes as been awarded the prestigious 2010 Angie’s List Super Service Award, an honor bestowed annually on approximately 5 percent of all the companies rated on the nation’s leading provider of consumer reviews on local service companies.
“Our Super Service Award winners are the cream of the crop when it comes to providing consistently high quality customer service, as judged by the customers who hired them,” said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie’s List.
Hallmark Homes is one of the largest on-your-lot custom home builders in the Midwest. Having built more than 1,000 homes since 1992, Hallmark Homes’ service, quality control, scheduling and warranty are second to none.
In addition to 2010 Angie’s List Super Service Award, Hallmark Homes is a proud recipient of the coveted Keystone Award and Residential Warranty National Award of Distinction. Hallmark Homes is a member of the Better Business Bureau and the National Association of Home Builders.
“Receiving the Super Service Award is a great honor for Hallmark Homes.
We know consumer’s look to Angie’s List when choosing their service providers and it’s always our goal to exceed our customer’s expectations,” said Paul Schwinghammer, President of Hallmark Homes.
In 2009 the company was chosen by ABC to build a home for their Extreme Makeover: Home Edition television show, in part, because the local builder has distinguished itself as a top Indiana Home Builder (Indianapolis Business Journal). Since Hallmark Homes was founded it has received numerous accolades for its work and commitment to customer satisfaction. When asked about this Schwinghammer noted “Since 1992, we’ve strived to provide the highest quality homes at the most affordable price while giving our customers a great building experience. We are thrilled to be recognized for our achievements by such a great organization as Angie’s List.”
Angie’s List Super Service Award winners have met strict eligibility requirements including earning a minimum number of reports, an exemplary rating from their customers and abiding by Angie’s List operational guidelines.

Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) September 7, 2004
Last year, Janet Drez created a prestigious national award to honor one outstanding home-based business owner. This year, the award will fulfill its purpose under a new name: the Home Business Crown Jewel Award.
“Over the past year I’ve received feedback that the original name — the Ruby Slipper Award — might limit participation by male home-based business owners who represent a substantial number of home-based businesses, so I decided it needed to change,” said Drez, a veteran home-based business owner of A Perfect Solution, SBA Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year, and chairwoman of the Home-Based Business Council.
Drez wants the award to raise the awareness about the substantial and growing economic, cultural and relational impact of home-based businesses. While the original name was selected because There’s No Place Like Home for home-based business owners, the new name represents Leading the Home-Based Business Renaissance.
The new name more accurately reflects what’s taking place in today’s marketplace.
“There is a new economic Renaissance occurring now in the United States led by home-based businesses. We need to recognize this momentum with an award not focused on revenue and employee criteria which preclude most home-based business owners from winning business awards,” Drez explained.
The only requirements an applicant must meet to be eligible for the Home Business Crown Jewel Award include:
Â? Owning a home-based business.
Â? Running a current business for at least two years.
Â? Membership in a community, business or women’s association.
The application questions include business overview and personal story, leadership of the company, community involvement, the most rewarding aspect of owning a home-based business, the greatest challenge faced by the business owner, and any advice the applicant would give to someone considering starting their own home-based business.
The 2005 Home Business Crown Jewel Award recipient will be selected by an independent, national judging panel.
A application fee covers administrative and prize costs. Deadline for applicants is Nov. 1, 2004. The award will be presented during a special luncheon presentation at the EntrepreneurÂ?s Small Business Boot Camp on Saturday, Jan. 8, 2005, at the Scottsdale Hilton in Scottsdale, Ariz.
All Home Business Crown Jewel Award applicants will receive a free autographed copy of Drez’s book, Putting The Pieces Together. One winner will receive:
Â? Round trip airfare to Phoenix, Arizona for the winner (or a travel voucher for Phoenix-area winner)
Â? One night’s hotel accommodation at the Scottsdale Hilton
Â? Free admission to the Small Business Boot Camp
Â? Presentation of the Home Business Crown Jewel Award; a jeweled circlet or crown in the Renaissance style.
Kathy Sweeney, owner of The Write Resume, was the 2004 recipient.
For more information and to apply, visit www.aperfectsolution.com and click on The Home Business Crown Jewel Award; or call Drez at (480) 899-3090.
