Thanks for the review Stephen on The Sunshine List. Love how you take the time to write reviews on all the short films, I know that must be a lot of work and shows you are geniunely excited and passionate about the dvxfests and promoting them.


I just wanted to note that you mentioned that the bra should have came off in my short film during the sex scene. I wanted to point out that a lot of feature films show sex scenes with the bra left on. I just watched one last night called "The Ugly Truth" that ends in a sex scene with the bra on during sex. Although I do lean towards it being off in a feature..wanted to point out that a lot of features do leave it on.

And I think for something like a short film, if you intend to show it to people which really is the biggest benefit of doing a short, since it's so difficult to make money off them, taking the bra off limits you on where it can be uploaded. I tried to walk a fine line so I could hopefully reach a wider audience and I personally feel that with a short the bra should be left on to avoid limiting where it can play at.

Even with that said...I uploaded it as is to vimeo and vimeo banned/removed it. You can read the details here on what vimeo said...

Just wanted to point that out, something to consider in your future reviews is the business side of things. Creatively I would have loved to do it but I chose not to so I could reach a wider audience and have a longer sex scene. Anything else and it might not have even been allowed in the DVXfest for all I know...who knows.
