I'd be totally up for helping you do a short film for the VHL. Problem is we'd need people to actually film things which makes it hard. Trailers are one thing, you can rip NHL videos for that, but an actual VHL short film is different.
Would be cool to make like a short doc with interviews and stuff though.
Oh, also, if you wanna get rid of the 500mb limit you need to upgrade to a higher account. The mid level one gives you (I think) 2gb and the high end one gives you unlimited as long as you don't go over 20gb a week. I regularly upload 6-7gb files to the studio vimeo account.
