In early June CrimeCraft opened up submissions for the first Sunrise City Indie Film Fest, leaving the creative direction up to the gangster. After the three week submission period, three of the movies stood out because of their polish and creative craft. These videos are available for streaming at ww.youtube.com/CrimeCraft. The final decision was left up to public vote, and after tallying the results Sunrise of Crime emerged the winner.

Hello, my name is James and I am the marketing assistant for Vogster Entertainment. With me today is the winner of the Sunrise City Indie Film Fest, Tomek 'Tommyz' Jancarz, who is known in game as Dzordzi, Dzordzzi, and Dzordz! Congrats on winning! I would like ask you some questions about your winning entry.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Tomek Jancarz, but my friends call me Tommy or Dzordzzi. I'm eighteen years old and I live in Poland. I like online shooting games, especially CrimeCraft! I only started playing a few months ago but have really had a lot of fun. Of course I also enjoy activities outside of house, like hanging out with my friends or playing a game of football.

I'm curious, how did you get the nickname Dzordzzi?
Long story short, "Dzordzzi" came from mixes of other character nicknames from games I've previously played. When you pronounce my nickname in polish it sounds like Georgie.

What inspired you to create “Sunrise of Crime”?
I enjoy making videos from games I like to play. The idea to make a CrimeCraft movie was born a long time ago. When the movie contest was announced, I knew I was going to make something for it. I really wanted to show off this great game and the wonderful gang/players I play with everyday, so that all became a major part of my video.

How did you get into video editing? How long have you been playing CrimeCraft?
I've seen a lot of in-game movies, so frag (gameplay) movies made by other players inspired me to make my own. I took my first steps in basic film programs. Over time I moved on to more advanced ones. My knowledge of moviemaking is growing which made making this film more enjoyable, but I still have much to learn.

Did you think that you had a winner when you were done with the film?
Of course I didn't think that. I was worried that I didn't put everything I wanted inside it... I felt like there wasn't enough time to edit and correct the footage. I know it's a decent film but it doesn't show my skills with both the game and movie making. I hope to make a new movie when I have the time.

Thanks for your time, anything that you wanted to share before we wrap things up?
Thanks to all who voted for me, CrimeCraft, Focus Team gang and all of the community. Hope to see more events like this in the future and always glad for any competition.

On behalf of the Vogster team, congrats and thanks for the interview! Good luck to you and enjoy the prize money!

Sweet interview, Grats again Tommyz on winning! There's never enough time, perhaps we should make something together? Would be cool to combine the creative skills of the community to make some awesome films. :)
