Smashed

Official Selection to the Once a Week Online Film Festival 2011
http://onceaweekfilmfest.weebly.com/

Smashed is a thrilling and moving drama about four friends on a night out drinking. As the night descends their love lives unravel, they find themselves in grave danger and try to claw their way back to the surface.

Despite being funded by Avon and Somerset Police, the script was written independently. The producer's inventive approach to sourcing funding led to a partnership with the police that was surprisingly unrestricted and creatively free.

While filming, a major concern was that the actors avoided over-the-top drunkenness, but we were so cautious we ended up having to do reshoots because no one looked like a drop had passed their lips.

Hey! Thank you so much for sending the video to us.

Overall this is a great little short film. I was entertained throughout and it dealt with some really interesting topics, which I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to at some extent. Who hasn't had that one night when they go out and can't remember anything?

Favourite parts; the opening sequence with the smashed egg, storyline was quick and you didn't faff around.

Overall it was awesome! Liked and favourited! <3
