Brian Fast, a 18-year-old first-term film reviewer from Oregon, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first Lego president of Brickfilms.
A crowd of nearly a quarter-million jammed Grant Park and the surrounding area in Lego Island, where Fast addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elect at midnight ET. Hundreds of thousands more — Mayor Bill Ding said he would not be surprised if a million brickfilmers jammed the streets — watched on a large television screen outside the park.
“If there is anyone out there who doubts that Brickfilms is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Fast declared.
