Firewire Films Takes 3rd Place in New England GSEA Awards

This morning, I competed in the New England Regional Competition for the 2007 Global Student Entrepreneurs Awards, and I took home 3rd place for Firewire Films. This year, the global competition received over 500 nominations, and New England was the largest of all the regions.

The competition took place at Suffolk University in Boston, and was judged by 5 local entrepreneurs who are each part of the EO Network [Entrepreneurs under 50 with Businesses over $1M in revenue].
