What would you do with a million dollars? After receiving treatments from over 300 filmmakers, four short-films have made it to the final round of the Discover Card Film Challenge. The films range from funny, to inspirational to dramatic, and most importantly they’re all original and entertaining. My favorite video of the four is “Good Fortune” and I think you can see why-
The films are in support of Discover Card’s Everyday Giveaway in which one lucky card user will win $1,000,000 just by making purchases with their Discover Card.
What would I do with a million dollars? I think I would love the chance to be able to set aside money into savings for my girls’ college educations. I’d love a new car that’s big enough for all of us to go on our road trips and have some fun. I would donate money to research for fibromyalgia. While there isn’t a cure, there has to be better ways to make treatment more readily available so those diagnosed can get back to living and enjoying life! I would also invest so it wouldn’t disappear at the drop of a hat.
Check out the Discover Card Film Challenge and vote for your favorite of the four!

if i had a million dollars i would pay off all our debt…and give the rest to my church
My favorite was Good Fortune. How nice to see someone thinking of others like that and not just blowing all the money on himself! Genie was a close second, though.
Cash or Credit is my favorite. I like how they use a split screen and show using Discover vs not using Discover for purchases.

I liked Clouds. The music was really peaceful and I liked the natural scenery. I could imagine my two boys lying there and talking like that with their dadd.
If I won a million dollars, I’d take my whole family to
DisneyWorld. Then I’d buy us a new house in a town with a good school district!

I would use it to pay off my house and debts and then pay all my utilities and stuff for a whole year and live without bills for a whole year! (Anything left over would go into savings)
I liked Good Fortune the best because of the inspirational message in it. Paying it Forward is one of my favorite things to do.

If I had a million dollars I would buy a home, take a family vacation and pay for my children’s college educations. I would also donate money to promote the adopting of special needs children in foster care in this country.
I loved the “Clouds” video. Who has’nt as a child laid on the ground and looked up at the clouds and imagined? It has a universal theme.

It’s a tough call between the Clouds and the Good Fortune. I like the one about the clouds because the dad is able to envision something that the kids would absolutely LOVE. And, I like the good fortune one because one of the minor characters is able to bring flowers to the girl/woman he really loves. 🙂 I think the main character in that one is the most generous… giving away so much for so many others.
