Ossian - a Nelson Entertainment Production

Very interesting. I mean that in a completely good way. Sorry I can't give you more, I really in a way don't know what else to say. But yes, very interesting.
 
I like shorts like this. Simple, beautiful, kind of surreal. I thought it was executed really well. Honestly, and there's not much you can do about this considering the limitations of the fest... but i'm interested in what the rest of this world looks like.

super cool

Thanks. That's the things with shorts, such a tiny snapshot.

I now prefer to write features :-D
 
The music is very haunting and lends a lot to the weight of this piece.

Costuming and acting all worked for me and it all gives off a definite feel of folklore but I'm not sure I grasped the story. The minute details that I'm sure hint at it may have passed me by.

In your story do people bury things at this hillside often? There seems to be a lot of piles of dirt/mud that looks dug up?

Thanks!

The other piles are mole hills (or groundhogs or whatever).

What she digs is the first "manmade" hole
 
This was beautiful, really nice to watch. If any criticisms, there are a couple of jerky camera movements that took me out of it for a second but everything else were right on!
 
I have to say the bar raises every fest... I loved your short.. The baby shot really hit home with my wife and I due to the fact we just found out we are pregnant with our second child an few hours earlier today.... Your lead did an oustanding job as welll.. again Great Job!!

wow, thanks man! that shot bothered my wife tremendously (as she gave birth to our second just a few months ago). Congrats on your second! To me, the second one seemed to make it more of a 'family'.
 
Mesmerizing images and music. Certainly, eye candy of what a Red camera can do. Its a nice piece. There's not much to gang up on. Good job.

Very pretty pictures. Reminds me a lot of a Vermont Filmmaker I know named Michael Fisher.
He's posted his work on this site before -- i wonder if you'd like it.

Good work. Thanks.
 
No idea what just happened, and I didn't like the first shot. Looked like it was a mistake and you didn't pan over, and then you were like, "Oh, I have to move over a bit more."

Maybe it was intentional, but I didn't really feel it.

Other than that, the filming and acting was incredible!

Like the look, and the score was goregous as well.

Maybe if I understand it better, I'll give it a higher rating. So you should PM me the story and I'll give it another view! Haha.

Does anyone else echo Robbie's 'call for explanation'? If so, I can give my explanation.

Though, I think it legitimately works with whatever interpretation people bring to the table
