I am looking forward to seeing all the other films, there's such a wealth of talent on dvxuser.com! And we are grateful for the opportunity to submit our modest movie.

Andrea Austin (in full compliance with dvxuser.com film contest rules :smile and Charles Pearman.
the concept of this was really neat, the camera tells truth ... cool, not quite sure about the ending, i think it needed a little more explanation.
You shot some crisp and clean images for this short, for the future i would work on your composition and framing a little more, i felt like what you had was a little jumpy between the two parts of the booth conversation. Also explore some dialogue transitions, the person who is talking doesn't always have to be on screen. Good job getting a film into the fest!
Seriously.... who has that many icons on their desktop ... that was insane!
REVIEW:
Nicely shot little film. The acting was good, but the boyfriend's acting was a little flat. A nice film, really. Good job.
FILMMAKER-TO-FILMMAKER:
I think I got the ending in that Randy shot the girl, thus the camera's picture of the dead girl with a bullet hole in her neck. We see the boyfriend walk into the back and heading to go into the office, just like the camera showed.
Again, this was a very good looking film. Great job and thanks for sharing.
I certainly appreciate everyone's comments. Very helpful.
We are going to re-work the ending for another film festival so that it's a little more clear as to what happened. The 5-minute limit bit into the story a little too much. We didn't start this project until the first week in October, so I'm just happy we finished in time
