wow, quite a risk to try a musical in this type of competition, particularly when you didn't need to do it. But good filmmaking is about risks, and I think you came up with a really cool story that did actually benefit from the use of song. The leaving her on the side of the road was a bit harsh, but what can you do. I also did road movie for eastern time zone, good luck in the competition.

We had the same assignment with a different genre. I really loved the idea of a chiropractor completely fixing a woman with horrific twisting and bending. I liked the story you crafted (especially knowing the time frame constraints) but I think it might have been more effectively told without the musical elements. Or maybe it needed more instrument support... Either way, cool little film.

Hey skastupid,

Thanks for your comments. We learned a lot about this kind of production, but I think I'm much better at music arrangement than as a commando songwritter. We really needed instruments and at least one musician on the shoot. Trying to compose music after the fact is immposible, especially when the songs were sung a-cappela with no pitch pipe in site.

Next time, I'm pushing for an action film. Even if we pull musical, it's going to be the music of explosions and gunfire.
