Ugh... I should have quoted the part where you said "You'd see it only because you know Spesh wrote it".
That's what I was I was commenting on when I said, I'll take that as a compliment.
Take it easy man, I wasn't getting on you about what you said, I'm cool with it. Anytime you present something in a public forum, you open yourself up to honest criticism, which I fully expected when posting this.

I didn't take it as you weren't getting on me. YOU take it easy man. Have a Bud Light.
Honesty and criticism are two different things in my book. Again, I was just being honest.
It wasn't meant as a compliment, Spesh, it was meant as my honest assessment of the trailer. Probably should've just kept my mouth shut and said "congratulations".
Sorry dude, it just seemed like you were a little pissed in the above comment.
A Bud Lite sounds wonderful But I'm off the wagon (or is it on the wagon?).
Thanks Alex, it is exciting, but it's a long process. They finished shooting in February and have been doing editing, sound mixing, etc since then. I'm not the most patient person in the world, so it can be a bit frustrating, but I've been writing as much as possible to keep my mind off it.
It'll be a lot more exciting once we start hitting the festivals.
I know I haven't gotten a chance to talk to you much about your scripts besides a short or so here and there, but I have checked out some of your features in between my writing times, and I'm definitely a fan. I know 'Suicide Theory' will only be the first on the list of what's to come.
Thanks Coop! Yes, Perth! Have a feature in pre over there right now, think they're casting for a trailer/sizzle reel shoot to help raise funding. Never been there myself, but I hear wonderful things! Thanks again for FB like!
I actually think this looks fine, far from the typical stilted indie film look you see - although the music really did ruin the whole thing. Anyway, good job, man! I think you said you'd been writing for 9 years? You really do deserve it. Good luck!
Thanks nawazm11! Appreciate it. I kinda like the song (an Arcade Fire cover), but I did like the other song they had in the version they showed me before they released this trailer much better.
Steve (Mouzakis) is an actor to watch out for. He gives a really quirky, odd performance. He's got a big part in that upcoming I, Frankenstein film (January).
Thanks again man, I really do appreciate. I definitely went through a lot through those 9-10 years, lots of disappointment, but the past couple years have been very good to me, so I guess it all pays off. Eventually. I'm sure there's a lot more ahead, you never stop paying your dues.
I, actually, thought this looked great as well. Lighting was a tad low-key in some of the shots, but it gave it that dark, evil feel which I imagine the director and DoP were going for.
Thanks Toby_E! I actually think there may have been a problem w/ the link itself... the director told me for some reason that it shows up darker than it does in the film. I dunno, I'm not really hip to all that film stuff... something I'd like to get into at another phase in my life, though.
Yes, Arcade Fire! I actually like the original a lot more than the cover, but the cover captured the moody, somber tone much better.
