The Gift

A short film I made while at OCAD. It is based on the Velvet Underground song of the same name...about Waldo Jeffers and his desire to see his beloved Marsha. Written by Lou Reed.

@skeletor7 the intro is a variation on the original song

@LeLimeLine Maybe through a window?

[nigkingoi]

Yeah.

[nigkingoi]

I think the sun's coming through the window.

[Musicdudeguy]

I am Waldo Jeffers.

I believe the stabbing was supposed to take place outside, as the blood was to "pulsate gently in the morning sun". Otherwise, pretty cool. Looks like you shot it in Redbank New Jersey XD

[Obinjess]

Awesome! Simply awesome! This is EXACTLY how I've always imagined "The Gift" if it was put into a short film. Outstanding job by the entire cast and crew!!!

[skeletor7]

it thought it was cool. really like the original song, what is the name of the intro song?

[THISISTHESEASONSS]

That's pretty cool. I'd love to see this with the song put over it as the narrative.

Was it simply copyright issues or a deliberate artistic choice to go in this direction?
