Has he got a story for you

An aspiring filmmaker from Austin has won a national online storytelling contest.

Kelley Caleb Hunt, 25, bested the competition with a video in which he tells a story about a shady job opportunity.

The contest is sponsored by TNT, MySpace and The Moth, an organization dedicated to the art of storytelling. The Moth is flying Hunt to New York for a live event Jan. 23-25, and he’ll also compete in a national storytelling competition in August.

Judges for the contest included actress Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”) and author and humorist Andy Borowitz (“The Borowitz Report”).

In addition to being a filmmaker and a storyteller, Hunt is an actor, playwright, songwriter and music producer.
