    Dan, this is a fantastic short. Great story and the acting was really strong. Loved the editing style with the flashback/forward almost within real time in the same scene. Would have like to have seen more of it carried through out actually.

    Very cool.
  • Joshua Sneider plus 1 year ago
    agreed loved the editing wanted a little more of the craziness though.

    Awesome story, awesome editing ... well done all around
  • Sage 1 year ago
    Well. Hows that for bringing the sex =)
    I think its good just as is - craziness level is solid.
    Red One?

    Btw, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but you can set the shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/120 to avoid the fluorescent CMOS flicker that happens the back rooms. Its an ntsc thing.

    Expand it into a feature.. Have said plans?

    I thought this short was amazingly shot, well done. Very creative. My favorite was the scanning booths laser shot when the old man was entering his tickets, very awesome!
    I also love the subtle "hand it over John McCain" reference haha.

    Also curious to what camera this was shot with...

    nice! the climax gave me the chills. i loved the editing style too, like blake mentioned, jumping back and forth almost in real time. i was nervous at first because it seemed to open with a few indie clichés (lotto ticket, store hold-up) but you added your own flavor and kept me glued to the screen! great job

    It's so brutal but still comic at the same time and together with the music it really sets an intriguing mood.
    Good acting, story, effects, lighting, color, you name it.

  • Dr Haisook 1 year ago
    Incredible! I liked it a lot.
    But I wonder, shouldn't stuff like this, being full of swears and graphical imagery, be given a little warning of some kind to keep little fellows (or people not interested) out? I wouldn't like how it would feel for a young girl getting to watch this thinking it's another 'cute' short film.
