DAYTON, Ohio - Three filmmakers took home PicsMatch Contest Awards at the 2009 FilmDayton Festival this weekend. At the PicsMatch sponsored “Pitch It” Event at the first annual Dayton Film Festival at Neon Theater downtown on Fifth Street. Over 40 videos were submitted to the contest, bringing a wide variety of content and perspective.

Local film maker, Davie Powers, accepted an award for his popular “Hitmen” video which featured hitmen taking out the wrong guy because they didnt use PicsMatch facial recognition to keep their subjects organized.

Local film crew, Exit Row Productions, won three awards for “Fiance,” “Tacos,” and “Graduation” clips. Each of these scenarios marking a good way to use the software to keep control of which photos you send to others.

Lastly, Chicago native and University of Dayton Alum, Dan Ptak, won six awards for his off the wall movies featuring a humansized bunny with a handlebar mustache. The image of a box around the Bunny portrayed when PicsMatch can tag your pictures in any wild instance.
