Similo

Undisputeably gorgeous imagery, compelling story that is at the same time slightly disturbing. Top notch all the way. No doubt, a serious contender.

I watched all of the films and, if I could vote (quite under 100 posts), this would be the top contender. Very impressive work. Excellent cinematography, pacing, and sound. But most of all it was the story and script that drew me from the other entries. It felt much more genuine.

Remarkable stuff.

To dig up an old thread: Could the lead female character be an android herself?

hahaha, long time since the last post.

No in the original script she is human.

Hi Macgregor,

I dont get it. Maybe Im missing something.

I found a link to this on youtube and just watched it. I thought it was great. It reminded me of Soaris in it's minimalistic way. I loved the combination of VO and music used in a very controlled way. The story was about right for it's running time, focussed and engaging. It's certainly one of the most rounded shorts I've seen on the boards. My favourite films are the ones which leave you with some ressonance after you watch them.

So then I check the winners list, and it's not even top ten... Was your film non-competition? ......

Are the blue flares across the windows done in post? If so, how?

Why did this get disqualified? i just watched it and it beats everything else including the winners of sci-fest hands down!!

And also, where has the original thread gone? I want to see the BTS stuff.

Hey this is kind of odd, digging up an old thread like this. But, why did Similo get disqualified?
