Hey all,
Haven't been on the boards much. Keep checking for that Batman review thread and I can't believe it's still nowhere to be found here.
Anyway, we made a 4 minute horror comedy film for a local contest. We ended up winning. Surprising to us because we just had fun with it. Nobody in here is an actor of any kind. The main girl is just my producer's daughter. It got a ton of laughs in the theater, so I thought I share here.
Hope you guys like it.
James

Thanks everyone, glad you all seem to like it.
Pia, yes, I shot and edited this. And gaffed. And did sound (She wore a lav). Over the years I've amassed a little arsenal of film making tools. By doing too much of it myself I make a ton of mistakes but keep the cost way down.
Editing is kind of like writing. Therapeutic. You get to sit in a quiet space all by yourself and just work on your PC. I enjoy it.

That was great! My sister put her daughter's Furby in the closet after awhile up where she couldn't find it. That was due to the incessant chatter. Thank GOD that was all!! ;D

Terrific stuff, James! And, your actress was a natural.
