Looks good. Keep up the good work.

When is the release date and location? Would love to come to the screening.

Looks like these guys shot in Ontario - agreed with Alex. Curious about screening.

Valbert. Im going to give you some critical feedback here on the look. Generally speaking I found the images flat and underlit. I saw a lot of non deliberate loss of light control and some high exposures for daytime shots. Blacks are crushed all over the place giving it a DSLR look. When I watch it a second time - it seems some things have just been applied a little too heavy handedly. I always find a pinch of salt is good whereas a tablespoon is just too much. Im wondering if some of these can be pulled back a little in grade with some more tweaking to bring it around a little.

Not to mention the awful, slowed down footage. Frame blending? Come on :kali:

I think the DP did an OK job except for some badly needed eye lights in just about every shot in the trailer - But mainly it looks like a result of poor "everything else". Badly needs a proper colorist, editor and sound technician for starters.

Mentioning the 5 lights I expected every shot to be way overlit with a bunch of open faced lights (alá young film student). The position of the lights do feel somewhat thought through even though the overall lighting and exposure might not be optimal. It's a gritty movie - And it's okay to light it as such. What bothers me more is the poor post work.
