Not bad, not bad...

Pretty OK acting, especially from the lawyer (at least compared to a lot of shorts around here). Fairly entertaining story.

Now to the critique: the footage looked awful. Could REALLY use some color grading, and even more so, some lighting. I would take the time to do a quick CC on some grabs, but I'm late and have to go. Play around in your NLE a bit; it has potential to look a LOT better than it does right now.

I got more, but gotta run. I'll try to come back to this one later...

Also, what the hell sort of fest give's out a "best movie ever" award?? By putting that in the title, I was turned off already with the thread. Gimme a break.
 
When you senior members use the word Gay as a description of something bad, are we supposed to take you and your work seriously?

Just a heads up...there are gay people in filmmaking.

That was in bad taste of the poster, agreed.
 
This really freaks me out because I was about to steal this same script and make it, but you beat me to the punch. Did u use auto focus for this short?
 
No, manual focus. Not sure if you were being sarcastic..but don't steal scripts...just ask the writer, most of the time they are willing for stuff like this. (shorts)
