Last minute gives me chills - nice use of lighting and dark.

Music is by Peter Davis. Do you know the name of the song?

[abteen]

The song is called Commiato.

[MovieTribute]

Thanks for the reply.

Good luck with your future works.

[MulledMoose]

hey, i tip my hats off to this film and was just wondering what kind of camera you used and generally how much the production cost overall?

[abteen]

Thanks, we used equipment from school. HVX200 and a lens adapter.

[peliqi]

NO.1

[antnhec]

great concept and dialogue

[lkrost]

What a great film, I am in awe that you didn't make the finals!!1 Lol of my top choices got DQ'd...I don't get it. You should be really proud of your work...You deserve to be in the top 10!!! Much respect

[satanspy]

i cant believe this film neither American Haiku never made it to top 10.. that whole list was garbage

[white1rc]

Cool video great production value with the camera movement.

Check out my submission, "Closet Party"

[Critic5000]

I'm look to find out who made the top 10 I heard, the list is out, I'm sure this one is in, I hope to hear back from you with the good news.

[abteen]

Thank you for the support!

[gwyhinny]

Thanks in advance for your help.

And again, thank you to all who have taken the time to watch our film, indulging us with five minutes of your time.

Best,

Abteen, Jay, and George

Abteen, Jay, and I would like to thank all of your for your comments and support. We're so happy that you enjoy it, and that you have taken the time to comment on our work. We even appreciate critical comments- we're always looking to grow.

CellarDoorFilm and McIntron123, what is the link suggesting we don't qualify? As far as I know, we have received no message saying that we have been disqualified. Critic5000 made not comment about any infringements in our review as he had in others' films.

[CellarDoorFilm]

apparntly they dont notify you. The rules state something like "only the videos that conform to the rules can be associated project direct" people are guessing that this "association" is the "Part of Porject Direct" tag that you see on some project. The ones that dont have the tag, you can always spot something wrong with ther submission. Something like they went over the time limit, coarse language, explicit sexuality, or visible logos. Nothing seems to be wrong with ur film, so im puzzled...

[CellarDoorFilm]

P.S. I love the "acting" extended metaphor towards the end. Beutiful film, cant give you enough praise for it.

[mcintron123]

Why didn't his qualify? (No Part of: Project Direct link suggests it didn't)

This would have been a great entry. Very professional job.

[CellarDoorFilm]

Im thinking the same thing! This is part of my top personal top 5. And what dumbfounds me is all the shorts in my top 5 look as if they been disqualified... I sincerelllyyy hope im wrong! But if you havent, chek out: Intersections, The Bro Pact, Blue Berry and American Haiku. GREAT FILMS! But they dunt have the link either! I think in this one, the killing method may have been to graphic? I dunt no... it was probably the best short in the competition from my point of view.

[Critic5000]

based on the rating criteria this is my review:

Lighting 5/6.25

Sound 5/6.25

Editing 5/6.25

Cinematography 4.5/6.25

Acting 10/12.5

Script 10/12.5

Originality 18/25

Overal Impression 18/25

75.5/100 A very good submission and I beleive it has a strong chance at making the top 10. This short was a Jack of all trades of film making, not weak in any area, you are very skilled at what you do, good luck in your future projects.
