"The Smile Search" by Sean Uyeoka

I loved this short movie. The acting was exeptional and so important, because they didn't speak. I like the idea of the film and the mood was very sensitive. I enjoyed it very much. Compliments!

This was a very nice film with a positive message. There are so many people in the world that have lost their smiles for different reasons. Short & sweet. Good acting and camera work, although I'd like to see a little more movement in your shots and a nice sound track.

Great job!
 
Thanks for all the feedback so far, everyone! For some reason I've been unable to access dvxuser for the past few days (I'm at my girlfriend's house right now) so I haven't read the comments until now.

The nicest compliment is that the film made people smile, which is the best possible reaction I could have hoped for. I had a good time putting this short together and can't wait for future fests.
 
Really liked the simplicity of this one. Didn't need words because it already has the charm in place. Liked the shot composition and the image was crisp with nice color. No complaints. Great work.
 
Enjoyed this film. It grew on me as it developed and the ending clinched it. Nice, warm message at the end. Thanks for sharing.
 
After a few days away, I finally got access back to the site. Thanks to Mike Horrigan and Jason Ramsey for their help. Now I've gotta catch up on watching the rest of the fest!

I'm glad that you appreciated the lack of dialogue. I really wanted to tell the story as simply as possible and thought one way to do this would be to keep it silent. I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

I found my smile too! I think charming or endearing is the way I would describe this movie. I am not a film guy (yet) so I only take it as a whole unless something stands out (for better or worse). I noticed the music and found it perfect for the movie. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Congratulations,
Stephen
 
I enjoyed this short. Simple concept well executed makes for a nice film. Without dialog pacing can be trickier, but you kept things moving. Good job!

Thanks Stephen. I agree that movies should generally be taken in as a whole as well. Happy that you found your smile :)

Much appreciated, kurtmo! I've actually tried using minimal/no dialogue in a lot of my shorts to force me to be visual. Challenging, but a very good exercise.
