Wow, just watched the trailer and to be honest, this looks like it could be a limited release in theaters. Very professional, amazing camera work/angles. Nice look.

Do you have AIM?

[Twodogs]

Thanks you guys! hope you'll enjoy the movie (subtitles ready)

Wow! Looks amazing!

I have no idea what it's about, I guess it could be quite interesting. I'm really imagining here Based on your name, I'm hoping it's something about cross-cultural dilemmas, the clash of cultures of immigrants against the background of French setting. We need to hear those voices in French cinema.

That said, I have some fears also. I have a bad feeling about the music, and a bad feeling that the music is pointing toward form over substance. You need drama inherent in the scenes, and you can't supply drama that is not there, with music - it is not a substitution. Besides, the music also sucks (sounds like a weak Deep Forest - a French duo). Anyhow, those are fears - and I hope unjustified fears.

I'm really crossing my fingers, and hoping this is a very good film with real drama, and real emotions, not just a lot of style covering an empty center.

Thank you OldCorpse for your comment...don't be afraid, the music of the trailer doesn't give the ambiance of the movie...and it's a music of 24 soundtrack!!

My movie is more a modern western, with old guitar and banjo. And there is no cross cultural dilemmas, just two guys lost in a ghost town, living a mad dog day!
