"Forgotten" - A film by Gabriel Florit

Yes. Great locations. Loved mile 30 and the shack. Music and mood were awesome as well. Your film was very good and you seem to have known that from the beginning. So, I’ll just throw a few things out and you can assume I thought everything else was great.

I had some problems with the script. There were a lot of extended dialogue sequences with too much shot reverse shot for my taste (in the bar, on the road) I would have liked to see the scenes a bit shorter or more varied in their approach.

Thought the blackouts were a bit long too. I kept waiting for premature credits instead of thinking about the impact of what was happening (forgetting,right?). I liked the idea of it, but felt they lingered just a tad too long.

To be really picky, thought the audio fade was premature at 00:48. I usually don’t care so much about these type of technical details, but it was noticeable enough to irk my attention away from the story.

Oh and compliments to Vanya Marinkovic and Ron Holmstrom. Really great work. Vanya delivered one of the strongest performances (if not thee) in the fest. The strain in her voice when she said, “Mile 30, I was told there was a pharmacy here.” was truly great. She’s the anchor of the piece.

Look forward to your next!
 
Wow!!

What a beautiful photography in snow / cabbage and outdoor scenes!!! I loved CC, also!!

Maybe I wasn't so 100% satisfied with bar scenes. I felt that it was over-lit on the bartender side and under lit on the actress side. I would like to see one wider shot of the bar also, just to get full impression of the whole space.

Overall; very good acting and story also!! It is obivous that you took needed time to finish the job and didn't wait till the last minute!!

Congratulations!!!

Yep, I enjoyed this film as well, mystifying and beautifully shot. The film held my attention through-out. Not much to add further to the technical comments mentioned, but certainly you created an alternative world as it were with your film.

Vanya Marinkovic the actress of the piece was very effective in cementing the power of your film (but the guy at the end in the bar - he sucked lol j/k no no you were very good too ;))

So well done - one of my favs.
 
Great job Gabriel, all your folks did a fantastic job, except for that bar patron guy, he sucked eggs. Just kidding. Really loved the look that you got out of your EX1. The only con I have about the film is that I wanted to see a more severe outcome for losing her memory, like maybe she goes insane or something. I keep thinking back to the Twilight Zone episode "Time At Last" where Burgess Meredith breaks his glasses at the end. Anyway, just my two cents.

cheers,

Jon
 
Really good film Gabriel. There isn't much I can say that hasn't been said but there are some beautiful shots. Pieces, performances, locations, and sequences that all come together to make an awesome film.

The main thing I noticed was that there was a difference in the lighting between the bartender and the main actress. That's probably my only issue. Great job all around man.
