By Its Cover - Vancouver Film School

[valinglyd]

I'm really confused by the ending but that's one of the things I liked most about this film. Amazing work. Some of the acting was a bit off but that did not take away from the story enough to matter.

[flissabella]

ooo sara from vampire diaires :D jenna <3 shes like my favorate character in it as well :D

[capecod12345]

is that girl willa holland??

[Wrim]

Haha, 09:45 "Cause you're telling them that you're a Vampire..." and now she's starring in The Vampire Diaries.

[IanTheMontrealSkater]

thats the girl from THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!

[KuteKoolKat]

@IanTheMontrealSkater lmao

her first name is the sam in VD too

[KuteKoolKat]

@KuteKoolKat same*

[creativity2studio]

OHHHHHHHHHH yeaaaaaaaHHHH seeeeXy ;)

[cagwa]

sexy girl melodramatic plot

[AutumnGracy]

He's a vampire! OMG I FREAKING KNEW IT!! D:<

[AutumnGracy]

OMG! *epiphany* I would LOVE to work in a bookstore! I think I'll try that next summer!

[kkcooly]

the main actress is realy pretty

[Kirilltraceur]

haha.... if only people where known for what they are, not what they do :/

[GunSlingerXAi]

nice short film, here's some critics

it's a bit too "shot by shot", doesn't feel professional.

and the story was great and all but you get a bit confused at the middle when she picks up that book

and most importantly the ENDING! OMG It seemed fake as hell. I was watching it and then suddenly the girl just stays stop and says this stupid thing and there happily ever after. WHAT?! yeah apart from those, awesome :)

[GmoUnit]

and for your information Johnny depp never went to acting school and look how talented he is the problem isnt neccesarly Vancouver film school its actors in general the fact that people find it so difficult and unfathomable to find truth and tangibility in a product of the imagination is sad vancouver film school deserves a couple gifted actors sent its way not just people that think and think and never really do why must actors continue to find and express the fallacies and not true fantasies

[GmoUnit]

i cant believe these people all have educations from vancouver film school yet the acting is sub par ive only had a little bit of training but I can tell none of these actors qualify to be on the big screen vancouver film school needs actual gifted actors do give them some credibility like first off the pauses are unnatural, they rely to heavily on gestures as if the directors are telling them this would look appropriate here and disregarding the essence of the moment and its just unnatural

[occocooccoco]

woah i just realized my youtube name says coco twice

[occocooccoco]

they got mpd all wrong. someone with mpd would have gaps between their personalities that they can't remember. their personality would not change so quickly, and when it did they wouldn't understand how they got to the position they were in. if the girl actually had read that book she would no doubt about it be clear on this

[occocooccoco]

she reminds me of amanda bynes in her second perosonality

[musiccabin]

i think it needs more background music!! and the end the acting doesn't look real, not touching.

[ankin]

that was the walkthrough from silent hill4 the room, right? o.O

[beepsbobby]

I loved it it was whell acted and whell directed and whell wrighten.

[cinny108]

at the end, it looked like he was going to kill her xDD

[watchbeforeyoudie]

yes, it did

[sacredthornapple]

Vampire!

[calozie4193]

@cinny108 werdddd like it scared me for a minute

[muuhck]

Ninad spasovski! : D

[88rubi]

Omg!! That was a Good short film!

esp. in the end with the crazy face

Loved every minute of it.

[nevous8]

Please tell my why he looked crazy himself at the end? Was he a psychopath of somesort as well or am i confusing that with over acting b/c that went right over my head?...

[jaella08]

I DON'T GET THE ENDING!!!!!

[jaella08]

and he was TOTALY about to kill her in the end.

[jaella08]

I'M CONFUSED. is the happy girl named "coco" one of her alternate personalities?????

[mikelprs]

I almost wish my girlfriend would give me a full thirty minutes before switching, but the last 10 seconds changed the entire film, that actor was outstanding for the end of that scene. Great work, and perfect lighting and angles to capture it.

[maritimegirl4life]

Man he was creepy looking at the end, good short though :)

[edwardianscriptlover]

Very soap opera...

[nijgnohmik]

Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco

[abecedarian123]

whoa creepy

[abelle07]

wow I think Ivan is an amazing actor! Great job!

[p3n0rz]

Coco is hot.

[cori182]

i wanna see what happens next haha

make it a movie or something

that was cool ^^

[cori182]

hahahaha i like it when she switches personalities in the beginning

the guy looked so funny

[mcbowler]

Good Point VFS. They both got what they want. Isn't that what relationships are about?

[JuanDa1094]

In the last part, he seemed like he was going to kill her or something. He had a strange look.

[FabledK1]

The ending kind of confused me. When they were hugging it seemed like something weird was happening.

[littlenooblet]

amazing.

[OnEye]

ha he totally got what he wanted

[fattymagee79]

call 423-304-3739

[AlexMikic852]

great acting from the main girl. really good.

[MishKa126]

I agree, she really put out there many personalitys and made it realistic

[steo9119]

I talked with some of the actors involved with the production. the director gave the ivan character a note for that look at the end that was "act like you are imagining having sex with all different personalities of her."

[Bak3dB3an]

HAHAH! His face at the end was like a phsycotic maniaco lol! "act like you're having sex with all her personalities, HAHAHA!

[roxy16741]

is he supposed 2 b a vampire or something?

[DawsonDreamer]

i liked it, but what was the creepy look at the end for? that scared me!

[U12B1]

I blame on script, story didn't finish as it suppose to end. quiet boring to be honest. acting not bad tough, some parts is very good actually. more like a TV series rather than a short film.

[fieteschulze]

good story.

[Krosmer]

I think the story took place over too long a period of time for one to really gain a connection to any of the characters. I realize that is difficult to achieve in a short film, so I don't think it flawed it too severely. It was certainly an interesting idea and overall pretty well done *thumbs up*.

[eversincealways]

"I think the story took place over too long a period of time for one to really gain a connection to any of the characters."

That really was a stupid a comment.

[Krosmer]

How so? There were giant leaps in the development of the characters, thus leaving very little gradual progression, which therefore made it hard to found a connection, like I said. But, maybe you had something else on mind, so please explain.

[lollerskatez1]

did you notice the word "short" before the word "film" disappear? Its a short film, its supossed to capture a glimpse not the whole picture. Use your imagination for once

[robbkatherine]

aw, this was cool and different!

[KenwoodKlown]

zzzish

[jolly113]

He's interested in the complexity of your bra hooks.

[responderer]

By it is cover

[2candles]

awesome

[beberisluis]

oiiii...

[parakitos]

omg.. mayb HE's twisted.. crap....

[confetticarol]

yeah but unless you're going to make a sequel, it's kind of pointless.

[hemlockgourmand]

passable acting, but a damn good script.

[Wrim]

This script is freaking GOLD.

[faroverseas]

...omg its gonna turn into a porn! lol

[ladfemax]

whats wrong with the voices

[hemlockgourmand]

your computer sucks.

[ddut887]

he wants to kill her...

[psycoticsinginchick]

Was that a twisted smile at the end? OO What's his back story?

[confetticarol]

I'm so confused about the ending as is everyone else.

Someone please explain?

Why does he look creepy?

I thought it was cuz he was getting the disorder too but he was with her so long she would have notic.

This also almost make me cry which I love about any kind of fiction.

Good job on it.

Just clear up the ending.

[hemlockgourmand]

the ending was a purposeful one, silly.

[confetticarol]

Uh, not it there's no sequal.

It's just kind of a pointless cliffhanger that doesn't leave the viewer satisfied.

[Krosmer]

I THINK the point being made is, he was actually acting the whole time as well, to be a sincere and sweet lover. So the irony is that he was getting so upset about her playing him for a fool, when in actual fact, he has been successfully leading her on the whole time. It expresses something that you see in many relationships, where either partner is playing the role of the good guy just for their own sinister intentions, whether that be him charming her into his bed or whatever. thatswhatIthink.

[vedder30]

I think I saw her in a porno movie

[1475551]

great acting, great story... great movie!!!

[hauhz]

at 1:20 the widescreen dimensions change. ha. Just thought it was funny.

Overall, well done. The story was interesting and the acting was good too. Nice job.

[Tuco82]

ivan is a nerd.

[CeciliaIsHere]

Nerds are hot.

[JonnyNice]

I loved it... only at the end I suddenly didn't get it anymore :s

[njiancak]

lol ditto.

[BeckaNitwit]

Great! But look at the duds look the three last seconds of the film. So scary!!

[pubtor]

pretty babe spotted!

[Aciel88]

does the guy in the end have a disorder? he seemed real creepy...

[ctchreport]

great short movie and some damn fine acting!

[Grishenko11]

establish characters more, soap opera qaulity... plot is cliche, dont think that extreme emotion eqauls talent

[TOLFINTRY]

@Grishenko11 on POINT!

[fatamorgana1989]

could have picked a cuter guy to play the part...jk.

weird ending...didn't really get it

[rubius0]

I also thought Ivan's face was creepy at hte end.... the acting was pretty darn good.

Good story.

I couldn't quite believe in the character of Coco and particularly not in the Agent.

[Nymphaea86]

Love! Love this movie! Brilliant!

[dragonstar28882]

Really nice

He kinda had creepy eyes at the end

[ShadowDragonn]

wOw... Really neat concept!! The acting was really well done, you tend to fall for the character and want to cheer her on and help her and everything! I love this! ^_^ Very well done, love the story idea, unique. Oh man... Can't even begin to think about what to say about this... Just wow.

[delark2000]

I liked it a lot, Ivan's facial expression at the end left me wondering. It seemed twisted.
