"PSYCHOPATHY" - A ZazaCast Film

You knocked this out the park dude, very very effective. I knew you and Todaero would be a good team!
Nice crane shot, nice music and sound design, really creepy. Good actress, good phone call effects. Well done sir.
 
Ċreepy. Short but effective. Nice and tight. (Matt kind of stole my words.) Great job Joe, actress(Shannon) and story (Anthony).

SPOILER REVIEW:

This one makes me sad.

the good: Great story. I also liked your actress. She seemed pretty natural with a lot of those lines. "Women drivers," amirite?!

the not as good: This is just really depressing. I know that's not really a bad thing or whatever, but ... man. I think I need to go play with my daughter some. I'll finish these reviews later...
 
Hey, Za!! Very nice and creepy story. Very well done. I really like your execution and I thought the actress was great. Road rage - very funny. This was sad, but creepy and true especially with what's been going on with the news and CA.
 
I read this script and really wanted a shot at it but it was not to be.

Zaza, I think you pretty much nailed it. The actress was spot on. Dialogue and attitude throughout was just great. The whole thing had a gritty/real feeling to it.
I'm sure the content had a lot to do with that but it's also the way it was shot. Of course the closing scene was perfect.

You know how I feel about the subject matter and I think you captured it extremely well.
Pisses me off but that's the intention. Real life is depressing sometimes.

Excellent way to capture the theme of the Fest, guys. Kudos!

PS - The sound was pretty good too. :)

Great job.
 
Already been said – gritty, depressing, tight and to the point. Simple idea, simple script done well. Nice job by your actress – it’s tough taking to no one and making it sound convincing.
Didn’t care for the voice on the phone. Sounded fake, almost comical and didn’t seem to have anything to do with what the woman was saying. It brought me out of the otherwise realistic scene.
Spoiler:
Also didn’t care for the child sound effects coming from the trunk. It sounded more like a doll than a person and also seemed repetitive as if looped.
Might have been more effective if she’d parked outside a bar or a nightclub. It looked like she was going shopping at the mall.
 
That was well executed and did an excellent job of puting you there. I thought the light sweep over her legs was superfluous and didnt fit but that was the only part that didnt fit for me. Well done.
 
My biggest issue with this was that it was too short. The light sweep over her leg was a little distracting. I liked the clever use of production design with the duct tape and pill bottle and thought the ironic line of her calling the other driver a psycho was funny (in hindsight). Your last fest entry was too long, this one was too short, therefore the next one should be just right.
 
I wish this was longer as well, i would have liked to see this gone a bit. But the whole point of it, as written by Todero, was to be a simple little one page ditty. And I like small short vignette's like this sometimes because it reminds us that short films can be... really short. And it got Zaza off his butt to make something, which is the most important thing.

Good point... a short can actually be short. If the story is there, it works.
...and this is my 9th fest entry, I think I've only missed one fest since TimeFest... I really don't spend much time on my butt! :grin:
 
Thanks for the comments guys... this stuff is very helpful...keep it coming!
Note for those in other countries, this is a story that is based on a very current news story here in the US... a BIG one.

This is really a spoiler...are your sure you want to know?
Spoiler:
O.K. then... if you're sure!
 
o.O

Understanding the time crunch, I'll keep that in mind...

Liked the look, seemed natural and unforced (which I liked a lot) just too damn short Bub, she met someone at Wally world?


They weren't shooting one of those damn rap videos in the parking lot were they? I hope not...shhesh

Overall, no BS only wish it were longer (thats what she said)
Good job looked great visually

:huh: Too short for what? Why would you want it longer... the story is completely told...start to finish... is there some kind of un-known rule about how short a short can be?
This is a visual definition of psychopathy.

Up here in the north country, we have bars & clubs that are in malls... a good psycho should always park away from other cars and it should be obvious why. :shocked:
