BUMP

Finishing up the musical score just needs some final touches.

Hah nice. I didn't see any strong connections but the ending was certainly a... surprise!

The ending was kinda outa the ballpark... but I liked the actors. I always wondered where lost things went.

Heh, yes, it's a curious concept that theorizes about the possibility of leaks in the space-time continuum in which things lost end up where they're least expected. Though a bit silly, I took the ending as a metaphor for exactly that: things disappear to a place common to all lost items in a way, and once one item is found, the rest begin to follow, as if opening up a secondary worm hole. I might be scraping for this one, but it seems VERY open.

I thought the concepts were set up fairly well. The film was very basic and somewhat rigid, but the actors held it well in comparison.

Overall, not bad.

I thought this was fun.

I'm glad you kept it tight and short.

The only thing missing from this film were laundry socks. Surely, they end up in the same spot as lost baseballs and cell phones.

Best of luck in the fest.

Simple story, I was with you until the ending, you lost me with the CG. Nice effects though.
