Addict - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[thatsclasssy]

aw this is sad. 

[af9125nna]

the idea is good but the acting is blah sorry

[MAKER6450]

iv lived this life and its a dark sad and pathetic way to go on with your days.

at first it helps but it doesnt take long untill the drug becomes a bigger problem than the one you were tryn to hide from through drug use...it just makes your life worse cos you still have the same problems but you just add addiction to it making it WAY worse.

[loriwatt08]

Very well done.

[Zeitgeist1101]

Good film, Meth is a horrible drug!!

[MAKER6450]

@Zeitgeist1101 meth is the worst damn drug on the planet...it will eat your fukn soul.

[Zeitgeist1101]

@MAKER6450 I used to do it, luckily i never ended up like my "friends" I would just do it once, stay up for a day or two, then go back to my regular life, but i eventually stopped when i felt myself loosing control over the drug, because eventually, no matter how strong, willful, or smart you are, you will start slipping.......and if you dont catch yourself.....then its really bad....please no one ever do meth

[PurpleZobies]

@Zeitgeist1101 Whoa you should do talks or something.

[skabababa]

creepy.

[MandarIshGirl]

awesome film (not to mention the directors kinda attractive)

[BlobbyCartoons]

This was fucked up, in a good way :) 5 stars.

[killert769]

this is not bad but its not great...the actors dont seem to really feel the emotion

[bboyphil1313]

Wow thanks for this amazing video

Great work VFS. Who ever worked on this should feel confident anddamn proud.

quck question though-

Should I come to Vancouver or stay in Toronto for film school?

[SammyBBarnes]

I'm proud of my work on this film and happy that it is finally posted for everyone to see.

Thank you everyone for your honest criticism. Positive or negative, it means a lot to me.

Thank you, Tyler. This is your baby.

[theschnitter]

Yeah a rly nice movie, good Camera Work, good Storytelling. And Sammy i can tell u "directly" im loving acting. It seems to be so real and i buyed u as a real addict. Great work Sammy! : )

[popaddict]

Well directed and loved that nod to Requiem for a Dream with the time lapse shot. The only thing that didn't quite work was that his character's dialogue came across as a bit too lucid, like he was thinking too straight for an addict - took away from the believability - maybe it was the writing or the performance but otherwise a really good short!

[nikkijaneallison]

nice camera work but it coulda been better if the actors gave more depth to their acting. but favorited it anyway! =)

[nikkijaneallison]

wow i can relate to this! though i wasn't that hooked like trevor, i also experienced it before just sitting there in the dark room playing cards or whatever i did like to do without noticing the hours passed by but when after the high was gone, i felt really awful, tired, dirty and ugly and then telling myself not to do it again.. ew. the amount of times i said it every time i got back to being normal. it's been 6 months now since the last time i was on drugs.. whew so hopefully. hehe

[kangnamsuperman]

This sucks but nice effort anyway. . . .

[bluesalt724]

i miss van soooo much

[bluesalt724]

i wish i had some weed

[PanoramicProductions]

siiiick

[tekunoredii]

oh wow. I thought it was really good. Very well done.

[PatricaMacjella]

The main actor isn't very good

[littl3alic3]

thought the acting was sort of missing. camera work was good though

[RectangleProductions]

really good!!

[SamKoop]

wow.

[derkule]

the 'girlfriend' was a mad actor

[r4p1dmage]

its actualy sad how he discovers how crappy his live is when his dad calls him, and then trying to not face the problem by gettin' high :O

oh well im a youtube adict :(

[Herdstudio]

great movie

[Jimmyjoeandthegang]

it was okay, it was really just a long PSA for me. Acting was meh. I didnt feel for anybody because there wasnt much character depth, i know its a short but still, you know.

[althemad]

Very very good one!!

[alb7182]

Awesome short film, liked it a lot!

[drakgrotta]

wow this film was realy good! it touched me!

awesome!

[53531640]

this should be compulsory viewing in schools.

[MAKER6450]

@53531640 watch a film on here called "detox or die"...thats an amazing story of addiction.

[PurpleZobies]

@53531640 It should, the only way you can know what meth does, is by seeing people who have done it.

[redimi2s]

hey this is the best i watch from vancover! very nice!!

[derkule]

kidding me ?!

[redimi2s]

im not kidding, from all the shitty short movies this is one of the best from vancover, is not the greatest movie in the world but is the best i have watch from vancover! thanks!

[IsaacGolle]

I really liked it, but it reminded me a lot of requiem for a dream, but it had its own elements but w/e

[IsaacGolle]

requiem for a dream has no voiceovers

[CleverNameStudios]

This is a beautiful film

[cheeky1021]

based alot off of requiem for a dream. or at least seems like a copy.

[GSkouf93]

[GSkouf93]

@GSkouf93 damn it! nvm...
