"One Man's Epic"

I liked the look of this. And I tried to come up with the Hero theme - all of those places he visited had heroes at them at one time or another. But that was the best I could do.

As I watched it I was counting off the places I'd been and enjoyed it, but maybe a bit of an explanation from the filmmaker could shed some light on what he intended vis-a-vis the theme.

Different is good ...

"One Man's Epic" Explanation

Hello everyone, I just checked by, read all your questions and comments, so I'll attempt to shed some light.

Why's it a hero film? Well, many of the theories I've read are true to what I was thinking. Take out the word "Super". It's just a "Hero film". Think medieval. The conflicts occurr within himself and his own journey. The story is completley open for interpretation as there's no dialogue or obvious plot structure. Take it for what it's worth and make something up. The turth is I was on vacation and had no actors other than myself to work with. Yep, that's me walking around, often holding the camera and pointing back at myself.

Why didn't I make something better? I didn't have any time. I was working on another film which didn't fit the hero genre at all. This is what always happens. For example I'm starting an action film later this summer, so I won't have any time to dedicate to a "horror" film for the next contest. It's just my luck.

Last February, I finished a 17 minute horror film "The Deader the Better" which I rushed a minute of test footage into last year's Zombie contest.

So, don't judge my directing or writing ability on my vacation film. It was made to showcase some great locations in England & Scotland as well as give a composer a chance to score something.

Hope that helps explain what I did and who I am a little more.

I'm halfway through watching the rest of the films and I think all of them have great attributes to them. I hope to see you around for Horror Fest.
