6/20/2008 Update: The Mixtress Online was asked by the International Documentary Challenge to remove the short film from YouTube. The film is currently being considered for distribution and an e-mail from a producer at the IDC states they are "not crazy about the idea of putting the films on the web for free for the general public."
