At B2B Inc. we encourage our employees to grow and have an entrepreneurial spirit.  Our account executive Brianna Deihl, also a local Minneapolis filmmaker, recently took home three awards in the inaugural year “The 50 / Fifty Reel Challenge.”

Her film “HELODERMAGEDDON! The musical!” won best sound mix, best graphic design and best costume. The film was also up for best director, editing, cinematography, music, leading actress and best film.

The challenge is set up as such: The producers (Brianna Deihl, Richard Molby and Joe Johnson) pick 50% of their genre ahead of time. The festival gives them the other 50% of their genre. They picked period piece, they were given muscial.

“I never wanted to shoot a musical. Ever. When I found out we where given musical as our genre, I almost cried. But after the shock, we hunkered down and started calling all of our musician friends.” Deihl said.  They used local musician Aaron Rice, of Aaron & The Sea. They shot and edited the film in 50 hours.

“This was the most collaborative project I’ve ever put together. I’m so honored to work with these people.”
