I had a death in the family and could not make the show in Dallas.
I wanted to, big time.
I'm hoping to find another window to catch this show.
I also saw your post on FB eariler, bro.
DO NOT allow those who never had your interest at heart to begin with, all the sudden come in and act as though they are full of concern where your future is concerned.
Funny how that works...when things are all the sudden clicking, amends need to be made.
Ride your tide. Have fun and dont let those who pissed on you have a chance at a second shake.
Out of curiosity, did you get a DVD? Are your friends asking for a copy? That happened to me, but to be honest, I never got any. I had to pay to see them!!!! Explanation I get is that the movies are such huge files that it would cost to much to print up a bunch of DVDs for everyone in 4k.
Awesome, Pia, hope you like it! No, I did not get a DVD (Netflix and DVD in September I believe)... my friends have actually been renting/buying the film via VOD outlets. I actually saw the film in theaters on Friday in Pennsylvania... so I ALSO had to pay to see the film. I had a private link for a while, but Freestyle Releasing (distro company) had the link taken down.
Bought it on Amazon today! Didn't have time to watch today, but will get to it this week for sure!
Dustin, about the DVDs, I think it's a cost and time thing. A feature film in 4k is such a huge file that it's expensive to burn the DVDs and takes forever. Studios send off their films to companies that do this on a large scale, but when you're dealing with indie companies, printing up several DVDs for everyone involved, cast, crew, writers, producers and so on, it ads up. When I finished TTD I made a total of 50 or so copies. It turned out to be a bigger chunk of the budget than I had planned, but I had promised DVDs and posters to everyone. This expense, btw, was not part of my original budget, so it was basically out of my own pocket after everything was over....and that was for a short.
HFS! This was incredible! I was absolutely blown away by this film. I read an early draft of the script and thought it was clever. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the finished film to do the script justice nor was I expecting all aspects of the film to be as good as it was. Cinematography, acting, sound and sets were absolutely amazing for an indie film. The film can hold its own against nearly any thriller I've seen coming from the major studios.
Ah man, thanks Don. This script really meant a lot to me and this website had a lot to do with the film's success (in terms of getting picked up, etc). I think it's getting close for this website to start being a production company... one of the special things about this site is that it's given a lot of people a start, but I really think it's time this website starts getting involved in film productions... not necessarily like Triggerstreet... the special thing about this site is giving people starting off an opportunity... but I really feel like this website oughtta get involved in movie production without losing sight of what made this website the awesome place it is... this place is special. This place offers opportunity. And it gave me my start. And there's so much talent here, it's ridiculous.

I had to buy a whole hard drive just for our short, All About Janet. Once the grading has been done the file grows massively. I had to go to London to pick up the film and it's very expensive to park there, like £20 ($30) for two hours. Anyway, I had to wait 5 hours for the file transfer onto my hard drive... and I bought a high powered USB, otherwise it would have been twice that. I can just imagine the raw size of a feature.
Once it's converted though, it's not too bad... however, upon conversion/compression there is a huge loss to quality. I think if I were to give DVDs out that I would sacrifice a little of the quality and convert it before copying any out.
Oh and spesh, I've said it numerous times already, probably starting to sound like a broken record, but well done, mate. The high praise from Don says it all.
You're one of the most talented dudes I've met on this site, Dustin, and I know you've had your clashes with peeps here over the years, but you've always treated me with nothing but the utmost respect... your support over the years is much appreciated. Keep on trucking, dude, you've got the touch...
