Transit

The exposition "Time for a new body" could have been more subtle I agree. I don't get "why" someone is out in the middle of the night needing a lift. Didn't see how they got there, didn't make sense to me. Acting looked believable, lines rolled off the guy's tongue.

I didn't like the zombie-like walk once he got into his new body. I didn't understand why the girl was out by herself in the middle of nowhere needing a ride.

Overall, I think it lived up to the fest but had its misses as well.
 
Charli you have to get out more often. When I was in Europe I hitchhiked short rides all the time and usually in these remote places where you couldn't get public transport. And the zombie walk was him getting used to the new body.
 
I've not been to Europe, just Mexico to the pyramids and to see my grandmother (back when). You don't hitch in Mexico, tell you that.
 
Quick Review.

I was in the car with the first guy thinking, yeah whats with this guy - but Im happy to be off that dark road alone. I didnt get any real genuine scares, but the overall piece had a good feel to it and I enjoyed it.
 
This is a unique one, enjoyed it the whole way thru, then read the reviews and felt like I also knew what was going to happen, but not whom or how and that was the shock for me. Very cohesive film.
 
Yeah i liked the concept for this piece, and felt it was a mix of amusing, macabre, interesting and downright silly (especially with the out-takes at the end haha.)

I don't know if there is really much more i can add from what other filmmakers have mentioned - as regards toe the technicalities. I think the film (for movie land) is credible in its presentation of the hitchhikers, and doesnt really push suspension of disbelief out the door. I also liked the walk - in fact its essential to let us see the dude getting used to his new body!)

Overall a competent piece that would have benefited (as Noel suggested) with more attention to that oh so careful calculation of building suspense!
 
I liked this story, nice all around package. I liked what you showed and what you didn't. you made great use the GH2 and the pancake lens. Sweden is my 2nd favorite country on the planet so what can I say, a great story shot with my favorite camera in Sweden. Look forward to more in the future.
 
Thanks folks! @Imaginate Yeah, I really like the pancake aswell, first shoot actually. Just got it in the morning on the first day (night) of shooting :)
 
Its a massive delight to see such an original idea and implementation especially for these fests to get such good votes and ratings - congrats on the polling!
