"Babbage," "The Brass Teapot," "Displaced," "My Turtle's Name Is Dudley," Are Final Four in Global Haydenfilms 4.0 Online Film Festival
16 Countries Represented by Semi-Finalists; $10,000 Grand Prize Winner Will Be Announced at August Ceremony In Los Angeles Kutztown, Pa.--Haydenfilms LLC, headquartered here, announced today that the four finalists in its global 4.0 Online Film Festival are "Babbage," "The Brass Teapot," "Displaced," and "My Turtle's Name Is Dudley" representing the United Kingdom and America. Sixteen countries are represented among the 53 semi-finalists selected in public judging. Several hundred entries were submitted for the 2008-2009 festival. The four finalists will compete for a $10,000 grand prize and other honors. The grand prize winner will be announced at a special ceremony in August in Los Anegles. Details of that event will be announced shortly. One lucky member, Californian Emily Star, won the special $1,000 Viewers' Appreciation Award. Haydenfilms Online Film Festival was among the first solely online film festivals, beginning in October 2004, as a way for independent filmmakers to showcase their works to the online community. It accepts all genres including shorts (under 10 minutes), animation, experimental and documentary films with a maximum length of 35 minutes. "I think it is pretty amazing that our festival is attracting independent and student filmmakers from around the world. The quality of our entries continues to grow and cover an even more diverse array of subjects, many that are very topical. Based on the opinion of thousands of members, our Final Four truly represent filmmaking at its finest and we expect a very close competition to determine our final," said Hayden Craddolph, president and founder of Haydenfilms. Craddolph provided details on each of the final films:
- "Babbage," directed by Claire Barker and produced by Trevor Hughes, is a 2008 film from the United Kingdom and a pilot for a feature project. The 15-minute film was inspired by the Victorian inventor Charles Babbage, a man equally famous for inventing the computer and failing to build it. Part historical drama, part fantasy, the film introduces us to those Babbage loved and lost. Babbage's story is one of inventive genius and failure.

A short film written and directed by Claire Barker
DOUBLE SPACED starts as a story about a girl coming to terms with the end of a relationship. This Lynch style thriller of abstract realism is a journey of suburban hedonism, terror, regret and strange meetings. Its backdrop is a celebration of Brixton and the beautiful London Borough of Lambeth.
