Really strong story. I liked the young girl and the boy. The older sister got on my nerves though (granted that's what she's supposed to do).

The audio got a little distracting after a while though. I would have had more audio overlap and dissolve into each other so that each cut would feel more natural and not so jarring.

But I liked it. It's a nice touching film.
 
The little girl was great! I totally enjoyed this one. The acting was just spot-on. the older sister was such a *****.:beer: and she was supposed to be. Great film man. totally believable.
 
I'm realy surprised! Thank you! Indeed the sound is little bad but.... This is Romanian problem in our films.

Happy with my sisters:))) I also saw your films and are very very good!
 
Tedy-

I truly enjoyed your film. The characters felt sincere and genuine. I, of course, wanted a little more information about the elder sister. I wanted to know why, besides having to withstand the pressures of motherhood so soon and desiring a husband, she was so cruel to the children. You handled it well, though.

I thought the performances all around were pretty strong, but yours and Alice's were the most touching. Their strong relationship helped solidify the film and the ending made it something special. The music seemed a fair compliment to the film as well.

There were a few small issues I had with the sound design and cinematography, but they were still very solid.

Great effort! :thumbsup:
 
I really liked this.

The ending in particular moved me. I really believed that connection between the brother and sister. Technically, it may not have been the most advanced film, but emotionally, it felt
great.

Well done.
 
Good characters, nice connection between brother and sister - your acting in particular is nice. I was having trouble hearing some of the dialogue at moments but a strong effort, good job.
 
I agree with what others are saying...maybe not perfect technically but incredibly moving!

At first I wasn't sure if I was going to get into the story but by the end I think it was the most powerful and moving piece I have seen thus far!

The performance by Tedy was very touching and believable! And as others have said the relationship between him and his younger sister was simple and beautiful. If I were more of a crier I would definitely have cried at this one! :smile:

Good job.

This one definitely moved me, a very touching film. The story itself pulls me in and I'm careless about the technical part of it... very well done!
 
great film. you established a very real relationship between the brother and younger sister which made the ending very sincere. great work
 
The Fisherman

The Fisherman

Tedy... Alex... well done...

very engaging.

i will leave any technical critiques about the film to more capable people.

but i will say this, story and substance trump "technical" stuff any goddamn day of the week.

and there were no technical "issues" that distracted me from enjoying the piece as is.

glad to have seen it, truly.
 
this film pulled me in, the circumstances of past away parents and being left to a sister that was selfish and unworthly was heartbreaking. The ending was a cut a little too short for my personal taste though because i thought the movie deserved more of a explanation of the "fisherman". over all it was a good choice of story and well made. good luck

There is a scene (party) where the evil sister tells them to go to their rooms. The brother then says to Annalis 'When dad was unhappy, he went fishing'. There was a second news article as well, but 6 mins bit that one.

I want to thank Sarah Daly for the guitar in this film. Really works, and has a nice melancholic feel that supports the story. Big 'across the pond' kiss and hug for your gift of song.

Tedy, what we wrote on paper together really took on a wonderful metamorphosis under your care. The edit stung a bit, but in the end, this story really holds together. It was such a pleasure working on this with you.

Alice - you bring such a lightness of being to the whole, and give this story a profound affection. Your on-camera charisma is ageless.

Karla - great job playing the bad girl. Nice, natural rhythm in your work. You really took ownership of the role. Exactly how I pictured you when creating the character, like you just climbed out of the page.

And now Tedy as actor - nobody else could have done this. The honesty in your performance makes this film work in so many ways. I can't imagine it without you.

NOTE: anyone who has worked with child actors knows the imporatnce and contributions of Moms. They can do anything, from makeup, to holding a boom, to detailing a set, and to ... well, acting. 'Hey, you there. Mom! You're on!'

Say hi to our interviewer, aka Mom. Great job!

Equally important to all this, is that the story is resonating with the viewers.
 
I recognized Sarah's guitar right away. Very good choice!

Well acted and really moving. This one got to me, especially towards the end. Could have used a little more info on why she was such a super ***** (TV scene) but overall everyone did a great job.

Very sad movie.

Not much to say really. Technically... yah, there were some issues but they never got in the way for me.

Really nice film.
