I have a friend who has been trying to do more and more film score work. If you want me to get you some contact info, I'll gladly hook you up.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Ehh, I dunno. I mostly like it, but it's very rough around the edges (obviously). Also, I was never able to completely finish it because I've never been able to get someone to score it to my satisfaction (a musician friend made one for it, but I rejected it). So it's totally done except for the music.tragabigzanda wrote:why not?LoathedVermin72 wrote:nope

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Sure. It's a silent, black-and-white horror short about a guy who commits a sort of controlled suicide after his wife dies so he can find her in the afterlife.

An old film professor of mine posited that 50% of first-year film school shorts will either end in or prominently feature a suicide. He was right; mine sure did.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Sure.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
I thought one of my friend's short student films was about suicide. But it was actually about being gay. The movie made a ton more sense once I got that.theplatypus wrote:An old film professor of mine posited that 50% of first-year film school shorts will either end in or prominently feature a suicide.

I acted in someone else's first-year film school short where I brutally murdered two people with a baseball bat for speaking entirely in clichès, and then later the director told me it was a metaphor for racism and homophobia???durdencommatyler wrote:I thought one of my friend's short student films was about suicide.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
Student films are so fascinating. Even when they're terrible and pretentious, there's usually this confusion and earnestness to them that I find endearing.theplatypus wrote:I acted in someone else's first-year film school short where I brutally murdered two people with a baseball bat for speaking entirely in clichès, and then later the director told me it was a metaphor for racism and homophobia???durdencommatyler wrote:I thought one of my friend's short student films was about suicide.

I agree, it's people scrambling to find their own voice while also affecting a certain sophistication. They're fun to watch.durdencommatyler wrote:Student films are so fascinating.

I didn't expect so. But I had to ask.
