My first short. 20minutes and 99percent finished. Just need to add gun smoke to one scene. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This clip contains a little bad language.

I'll just say this. The acting was good and overall it's okay. The baby crying is too reminiscent of Eraserhead. And from my own personal stand-point, cussing and saying fuck way too many times takes away any of the edge the words have. That's why I'm not a big fan of Rob Zombie movies. He uses the language to make his characters badass, instead of actually making them badass.

Overall the clip looked good. Good Luck with it.
 
I really liked the opening set and lighting--and the acting was solid. It confused me shortly after the opening shot...made no sense...

The opening felt like a Gilliam set and situation...which is a huge compliment.

It turns mushy really quickly though.
 
Here is the finished film. Hope u guys enjoy.

wow wow this was way more cool than I expected. I love the look of it, very vintage cinema I think. Or it at least gives that impression. And the comment about the swearing, I think in this instance, and in the instance of Rob Zombie films, the point is that there is no edge to it. It's supposed to not be a big deal to the characters, like they swear all day. It makes them look more bad ass. OOPS censor!

But I will be seeing this.
 
Thanks man. I made a cencored version with all the swearing beeped out. It sounds like a monkey on crack with a morse code machine.
Your head full of water movie sounds great. Have u finished the script?
 
I haven't checked the full film yet. I like also the setup and the acting of the main character.
I fully agree on the overuse of the word "fuck". Not for the sense of bad taste, I use it a lot on my characters when I write. But also been told that when overused it actually degrades the rest of what the character says, and loses power, more like looking ridiculous.

As soon as I have time I will watch the full film, it looks promising
