The beginning of the trailer was tight--the credits and music all had a great style and possessed high production value. As soon as the image appear, however, the budget became a little more apparent...which is totally cool, I just want to express the relation between credits and first footage expectation that I notice all the time. My first feature had the same thing about it...the credits were super slick, and the movie was pretty low quality. Not that your film is low quality...it's just that the credits and music are on a different level...

I liked the edit of the film all the way up until the pace increase...it seemed to go shaky handheld from that point on, supported by the chaotic music, but it was so shaky at times, it was hard to even tell what was going on. It's kind of funny, but even the end title credit had a shaky hand-held filter on it...lol.

I also liked the guys VO, until I realized it sounded like that because of the echo in the room while recording.

These are just my little gripes. Congrats on shooting a feature. It looks like an entertaining film, one that a lot of work was put into.

Good luck with it.

Cheers.
