[Short Film] Bad Dream (2002)

Bad Dream was shot during a period of David Lynch over-indulgence. Hence, we named it a 'Lynched' Production and used music from his films. It was also made with the expertise of my then university house mate Gary Ellison who was a big Lynch fan. All credit goes to Gary for his edit of the film, which appears here.

Bad Dream was actually my first ever short film, shot in 2002, while I was studying Film Production at Sheffield Hallam University. It was made with major constraints - no decent lighting equipment, no tripod, no microphone aside from the camera's own built-in sound system. It was also edited on one of the old Imac's and their IMovie program - that was the one Jeff Goldblum used to do the advert for before YouTube made homemade short films so popular.

So expect some Lynch influences, expect a lot of rustiness on my part, and expect some shaky shots.

Synopsis: A man fears his nightmares may not be constrained to his own mind. After another bad dream, he wakes to find the unexpected.

Para ser tu primer trabajo en films (si es que entendi bien) está bastante bien...

Me hubiese esperado otro final, me dejo con ganas de algo de sangre...

Sigue experimentando, te felicito!

Thank you LaLlave6 for your comments although I only have a very basic understanding of Spanish and the free translator tool doesn't do the best job.

Gracias.
