The Watchman a Michael Anthony Horrigan Film

Hey Mike, congrats! I think you did a terrific job with that hv20! I was shocked to read that's what you used. You got some good looking stuff from that.

I thought the story was well-crafted. The only think that I had an issue with is the acting.

I really enjoyed this. You did a great job of building the suspense and I loved the confrontation between the watchman and woman over the garbage can. Good acting and the whole thing looked and sounded great.
Very good script. Congratz on making the top 8.

I really enjoyed this film a lot.

Thanks or checking it out.

I know you're an actor so give me the skinny. What acting bothered you and where? I thought Ian's performance was especially outstanding.

Thanks again, man. I appreciate you taking the time and welcome the critique.

Cheers,

Mike
 
Go Mike! Congrats on the top 8. I'm gonna check out your (and the other TF flicks) movie tomorrow, finally have some time...
 
Great Job... I liked your movie the best out of the final 8 and it again illustrates that its the operator and not the equipment thats important in making a quality production.
 
Herman Witkam has taken the time to do a new score for The Watchman. It will be aired for the first time during the L.A. premiere.
Hope everyone likes it!

He definitely brought some new life to the hallway scene! :eek:
Once this is all over he has graciously agreed to score the longer Director's Cut.
Very nice of him.

Cheers,

Mike

That's outstanding. We filmmakers all need a great composer to really pull of the art we're trying to display. Can't wait to check it out again.
 
For those who might be interested...

I just posted the 8 minute Director's Cut of The Watchman HERE.

Thanks again to everyone who watched and voted! Hope you like the new cut.

Cheers,

Mike:

Nice work on the director's cut. I liked Herman's score very much. I think you cut exactly the right scene from the movie to make the festival time limit. I actually think that the festival version is a little tighter and that the added scene doesn't add a whole lot. But that's just me.

Again, congratulations on finishing in the final group! Can't wait to see your Twilight film.

Thanks, man! Well, I think it's helps his motivation. He doesn't simply jump from the garbage can incident to the murder. It also introduces the third character and establishes that Sam has been planning this for quite some time. Watching him every night for at least a week.

Their argument also helps push Sam further over the edge.

These were some problems that some people had. They are now addressed and were part of the original script/shoot.
:)

Herman's score does truly rock!

Cheers,

Mike

True, but it's repetitive. The confrontation he has with the woman earlier is almost a repeat of the one he has with the man later. While it accomplishes these goals, the extra scene comes at a price of wearing on the viewer.

I think the festival cut is a bit tighter, but the score in the director's cut is more chilling.
