I had to pull my links down for the moment. Yes, you can show the book and talk about it so long as you don't pretend that the material or the art work on the cover is your own. Look up parody and fair commentary. I hardly doubt Stephenie Meyers and her big bad legal team will give us a look. If she does, even better IMO.  

I'll put the links back up in a bit.

Glad you liked it.

I would download the entire thing if you want to see it. Played choppy for me in my browser otherwise...

Let me know what you think!

That looked really really great!!! You should be very proud!......Hope bert doesn't expect something good like that with TTD!

It's amazing to me how people can make shorts look like million dollar productions these day! Great, great work! Actors were good too. Everything was good.

Did I read this script? If so, has it changed much since then because I don't recall the story after watching the film.

If there was a "Like" button, I'd hit it!

That was bloody good.  They really built the mood until you knew the old man's fate was inevitable.  Good use of a menacing soundtrack.  I remember your script being more mysterious as to Sean's identity, at least at first.  In this one, you know instantly he's sportin fangs.  Very well shot and some interesting use of angles.  Overall, a great job.

Shame on you! Of course you did and corrected my writing when I wrote about a sleeveless thug wearing a vest. Twas bad writing on my part...

I'm glad you guys have liked it. They're submitting it to Sundance. Don't think many horrors make the cut there, wish us luck!!!

I wish you luck at Sundance!  The film was very good.  I am probably one of the only people who really don't care for the vampire stuff, but this was quite good.  If I say good one more time, it won't be good!  I think it is great for you to see your name on something made.  We all hope to be there soon.  Keep it going!!!

Checked it out last night, James. It was the movie first, because I hadn't actually read the script. I liked the look of the movie so I checked out the script today to see how well they matched up and they were surprisingly close.

No need on really commenting on what I didn't like in the short, as it's already been filmed but I did enjoy it a lot for the most part. Seems like the director really liked the script, to stay so faithful to it.

Good stuff. =)

Wow! Great job, I wish this short the best.  Compared to some horror films that do make the Sundance cut, this one is better in my opinion.

Mister James!

You should hold your head high over this one.
Sumptuous production values.
I've ridden those trains and they never looked so good.

While I prefer the veiled mystery of the script...
This interpretation works very well too.
The one draw back for me is how obvious it is the guy's a vamp early on.
It makes some of the dialogue play out a bit odd.

If this doesn't get into Sundance, I'd be very surprised.
Congrats, Sir!

Regards,
E.D.

Congratulations, James!

Very very excellent quality all around... directing, acting, lighting, soundtrack, everything.  Oh yeah, and writing, too.  

Hope this attracts a lot of attention for you!

Watch it while you can. Glad everyone is digging it!

Wish us luck at Sundance! I would love nothing more than to be sitting in the audience during a short program and watch their reactions to this bloody tale!!!

Yep, great-looking piece of work.

Personally, "...you're gonna want to get off this train," with the reflection reveal is the high-point.

People need to stop posting these quality shorts or Pia is going to get all intimidated and I'll never see TTD.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

I honestly didn't think they would put that in. Am glad they did, that moment gives me chills!!!

It's such cliche folklore about vampires, but it still works when done right! At least IMO.

I can't wait for TTD! Pia will deliver!!!
