Thanks. Also, how many film festivals would you expect a survival/fantasy/horror/action film to be accepted into?
And mind if I tell u my films story?
My film is about a survivor who escapes from his home village (after it gets destroyed by a ruthless sorcerer).
He then spends a while surviving in the woodlands before he comes into contact with that very same enemy who killed his parents. They have a little fight, the main character escapes and returns to his ruined village. There he talks to his parents graves and decides he won’t run from their murderer again and instead that the next time they meet he will fight, win or lose.
The sorcerer has a decent cloaked costume with a helmet and black boots, along with a good steel sword. (Not a fake one, but blunted) to make it all seem realistic.
So Arcaydes (main character) comes across someone in a cloak and thinks it’s the sorcerer (Soulor). Turns out Arcaydes had simply killed Soulors twin who was wearing a cloak too. When Soulors brother is dying, Arcaydes is shocked but he tells him and explains he understands. He tries bringing comfort to Arcaydes. “You know I was about to try and kill Soulor myself, about to kill my own brother for his wickedness....looks like I ended up as good practice for you though hey.” He says to Arcaydes as he is dying. But he also encourages Arcaydes to find other survivors like him, and unite them together against Soulor.
That’s soughta meant to be a reveal thing, like how he wasn’t actually Soulor but his brother. So now Arcaydes feels tormented that he killed the wrong man, and that he has innocent blood on his hands.
Then the real Soulor shows up and smashes Arcaydes, kicking him off a cliff and into the water, then Soulor leaves not caring to see if Arcaydes is dead or not, taking his brother away. Not knowing his brother was about to turn against him. I’m gonna try to make Soulors entrance really terrifying and make it seem like Arcaydes stands no chance in the fight, like Soulor just comes and destroys Arcaydes absolutely and then leaves, making people wanna know more about him.
Arcaydes is now depressed, this film is a film about sadness and motivation mind you. He nearly commits suicide.
However he remembers Afiserons (Soulors brothers) words. How he told Arcaydes to find other survivors who had suffered from Soulor. Arcaydes depressed, finds that he can’t cry any more. All his tears had been spent from the years of sadness and now his heart was like a sturdy rock.
Arcaydes decides he won’t let Soulor get the better of him, and begins his journey to find other survivors like him, to find out why Soulor destroyed his home, why Soulor is evil, and to bring justice.
-To be continued.
That’s the general story summarized. (Typing this late so spelling might be bad.) That’s a really brief summary mind u so u might not understand too clearly but well enough hopefully.
So yea, I’ve got a decent 4K camera with good audio equipment.
So if the film is shot, acted, produced, edited, color graded, scripted decently overall. How many festivals do you think it would get into? And do u think such a story would be a good decent success?
