Interesting. Looking forward to seeing the final movie. Good luck with post etc. :)

Liked it a lot. Shows what can be done with a micro cast (one), small crew in a very tight period - 48 hours. With a tight budget - no RED or Arri used here; whilst still maintaining good quality. Congrads. :)

Totally agree with the above. We have though placed some sub four minute Shorts. But 5-10 minutes simply gives you longer for the story, and for the audience to (hopefully) connect with your characters and be invested in their story.

You lost me... If he is happy with $300 then pay $300, not $500. Unless you're a millionaire and like being generous to all around you.

Welcome. Good luck with your first Short. Number #1 rule: enjoy making it. :)

Welcome and Good luck. Reading good screenplays is a great place to start - great call. :)
