Thanks for the read all. Regarding the slap, I do like the idea. It really would help with the whole set up. Cheers.

Hey Dustin,
Is this a newer version then the one I read?

Dan

No, it's the same one as far as I can remember.

This one has been filmed - retitled as 'Anonymous' - by Rendalee Singleton and is on the festival circuit, appearing in the Rack Focus Dallas Round Three competition tomorrow. I have seen it myself and it's another good one for the portfolio. Unfortunately, I cannot share it publicly, but if anyone is down with Facebook, here is a link to the page:

If you want a 'like' for anything in return just ask and I shall oblige.

It is down for other festivals too, and with how these things are, it probably won't be publicly available for approximately a year.

Very cool, dude. The trailer looked great.

Wow, 2 things filmed.  Great job!!  Keep it going, right??

Dan

Cheers guys... I do have a third short being filmed right now. Well, it should be being filmed right now anyway. It's being done by a first time producer but a very well known actor. He used to be in Coronation Street and was a main character for around 15 years. So I trust that he has the skills and contacts to do a good job.

I should have a feature produced this year too.

Fingers crossed they all come in.

Awesome work and awesome news!

Nice one Dustin, the trailer was done perfectly and should be a top production! Great work, keep it going!

Just heard that the film did amazing at the festival yesterday and was one of 8 films chosen to be put into an anthology. So I assume this means the anthology will get some type of commercial release. Not quite sure how those anthology things work, to be honest. I've never seen one. Although I have read a few.

Thanks all for the kind and encouraging words.


edit: Just reread the email and being put into an anthology does mean that it will be distributed.

Congratulations, Dustin! You've come a long way. Good things come to those who study and work hard.    

Anthology?! That's nice, congrats!

Did it get produced, Dustin?

I liked this a lot.

I'd suggest a slower opening. I'd start with something like darkness, someone's hand, leg whatever. Describe a little and only then get them talk. Or maybe even a shot outside that room.
Either way, it's quite effective the way it is for me.

Yes, it's been produced twice now. The second one is entitled 'Anonymous' and is the one I'm most pleased with. Thanks for the tips, but I'm not inclined to revisit this one again. I'd rather concentrate on my non produced stuff. Thanks for checking it out.

I unfortunately cannot embed the video into this thread, but there is a link at the end of this post to the finished film. It's only 7 minutes or so long. Not sure how long the link will remain active for.
