The production value and the acting were amazing. Really enjoyed it. By only gripe as I wish they would have used the signage at the end of your script.

Super congrats.

Thanks all for checking it out, and a big thanks to Don for posting and providing a platform for getting it picked up in the first place.

I was blown away when I saw the amount of effort that went into this, not at all what I expected from a short.  I think it was something like ten months of editing and FX works.  The filmmakers spent over two years in total of planning and shooting etc.

Dave - the original ending extended this by another 3 minutes which they felt slowed the pacing.  I think it was a good move as it gets the core idea across in a shorter, sharper way.  it's been interesting to see how someone else can interpret your script and the whys behind it.  

Thanks again.  All the best.

Steve

Quoted from stevemiles

I've worked with one director three times now and he usually uses only around 50% of the script. He does the rest using director tricks.

Really glad to see this, Steve. You're a great writer and this is well deserved. I'll check it out when I get some free time to watch.

Steve - Very cool. I love the 'Blade Runner-ish' opening, the acting was spot on, and the production was beautiful. Good luck!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.  Yeah, there's a little Blade Runner vibe in there.  That's the future I guess, dark and rainy.

Dustin - it's an eye opener; the director had a clear idea of what he wanted this to be and I respect where he took it.  I think there's a lot to be said for not being too married to any one idea, especially when you're not holding the camera...

I just watched it and read the script. The production is amazing, quality stuff, but you know that.
I did like the script better) but it's a very strong script.

Did you sell the rights for this one, or it's still yours?

Cheers Mark.

Khamanna - I'd have to dig out the paperwork, it was a while back.  I think it was pretty standard.
