In the past few days, DVXusers Ben Sliker and Justin Kuhn sat down and chatted over AIM while simultaneously watching the same TIMEFEST films. We call them, "The AIM sessions". Here's their thoughts on "Escape from the Past"
This is a 'special edition' of the AIM sessions, Assistant Director Brad Mate has tagged in for Justin from the crew of JAM. Please excuse the stupid out of order time stamps by iChat.

Guys, nice job on this short. Having guns in a liquor store is just plain cool, and although a little rough on the eyes/ears, the flashing bathroom scenes were kinda neat. It felt a little like the style overtook the substance of this one, but we really liked your editing choices as far as structure goes. I want more timecops, because let's face it ... I've had enough of Van Damme and his shenanigans (although, you do get to see that chick from Ferris Buehler's Day Off naked in it, so bonus for that). PEACE. :thumbs up:
