HAHA!

This is actually my first film to not feature any blood or death... something I'm kind of proud of... kind of.

Seeing that some entries of TwilightFest could go in the direction of horror and may include obviously violent scenes, I find it important to explain my point of view and where I will stop watching a film and therefore not vote and comment on it!

Hmmmm..... maybe I should have shown Susanne the R rated cut of our entry before she posted this. You know, the one I submitted. :eek:


:grin:
 
A specially purchased bottle of rum is at the ready - I shall watch and vote for all the films, but probably comment only on some.
 
Yep - boys and boys and boys - where are the girls here? :Drogar-Thinking(DBG I should have known that there will be this kind of comments! Probably I will get also through the violent films with my half of the bottle! :Drogar-Love(DBG):

Well, I can understand your pov susanne. i'm generally not up for gratuitous violence and try to stay away from it when behind the reins of the film (though i have no real problem helping friends achieve their bloody ends). As much as i've loved me some hellraiser and so on, i tend to dig purposeful violence and shy away from violence for the sake of violence.

Now and again my friends and I have made a pacts to try and come up with a zero violence scripts for the fests (even, let's have a HAPPY ending pacts).... did ok in the last few (though they are usually entrenched in the aftermath or potential of such acts).

i've no real problem with blood on screen, but i feel like a lot gets lost in the splatter. violence and death are very extreme and emotional events. They deserve to have that weight behind them. I like to believe i've at least tried to use those elements in my work more so than the old sticky red.

All that said... i still stand by my rule... you vote, you watch em all. just cuddle your rum and close your eyes at the nasty parts!

(p.s. watch my acting gig in this fest and call me a hypocrite) :D

But one thing I find really important to say is this: When I watch a film and it is obviously violent, I stop watching it.

I have a feeling that you won't get that far on my entry :D

On the other side, you said that "From Dusk till Dawn" was ok, so I should be fine :)

WRONG!!! Thats the whole point of the new voting system! You don't have to watch all the entries to vote. You judge every entry on it's own! You watch a film, and afterwards you give it a star rating, that's it. Cool huh? Then you can go on and watch others, or you can just stop if you want and it would not be unfair.

Even still, I think it is only fair to rate every entry. We could all flood vote for one entry or two and the chances of them winning would be increased because of the more accurate average (depending on the scores, of course).
 
This has been a very informative and interesting discussion. Being one of the new kids on the block, and older new kid, the information you have shared here helps me, thanks. I will watch all films, but cannot vote. You have all shared good points and very valid reasons for your points of perspective, however, I'm new to making films and remain hungry for all the tips I can digest; so I'll watch. We had a script or almost a script, we couldn't end it in time for timefest. We managed to get it together for Twilightfest and it has been and continues to be one of the most extraordinary experiences I have had in my pretty-long life. So thanks for the forum, and all the work each of you have contributed to make film and DVXUser so successful and an avenue for old forts like me to put a new wrinkle on life.

By the way how do you get your banners and posters to the apporpriate sizes. Thanks.

You CAN vote. It's 50 posts or a valid entry in the Fest. Either one gives you the right to vote.

About the banner, just shrink it down in photoshop and put it in your signature. You can alter your signature in the User CP. (your control panel)

Mike,

My son Adam actually posted the film, I'm only the executive producer. So I r thought it best that he vote. I don't have 50 posts. Even though I had a few over the last couple of days.

Seriously, if you reeeeally put your mind to it. Imagine, I was trying to do that when the requirement was 100 or more posts. eventually I knew I'd never make that many posts on time and decided to make a film so i could vote without the finger strain. :laugh:
