BUMP - An OCD Short Film for Steven Spielberg! Nerd Tears

Steven Spielberg said to me "Make a movie and send it to me...Have your people send it to my people"!

Haha well first of all, I don't have people but I did have the amazing opportunity of sitting down with Mr. Spielberg for "War Horse" and "The Adventures of Tin Tin" last year. At the end of the "War Horse" interview he said, "You should be a filmmaker". Then at the end of my "Tin TIn" interview, he said to the next guy walking in "I think he's going to be a filmmaker this kid...He's got the stuff".

I saw Mr. Spielberg a month later at the critics Choice Awards and went up to him to thank him for the interviews. He then said to make a movie and send it to him.

So, I got together with two of my best friends from college and we all collaborated on this project, which cost us less than $400 to make. The film was shot over a 2-day period in Warrenton, VA and Arlington VA and we spent well over 100 hours editing the flick! I hope you love the film.

And yes, we did send it off to Steven Spielberg. We are just waiting to hear back to see if he watches it! We are keeping our fingers crossed!

I really enjoyed it though the only thing that bothered me a bit was the actress, unfortunately. She left much to be desired. You are a natural in front of the camera and within a short time created a multi-dimentional character. You are a very talented actor and filmmaker and I really hope that you will make more shorts in the near future because I think you can be great. Like Spielberg said, you've got the stuff.

I liked it. Interesting story concept. I thought there were a few too many "Look at this awesome close up of a blade of grass" type shots. Trying a bit too hard there. But considering they were submitting it to Spielberg I guess I can understand. I actually thought Kevin did a pretty good job acting.

Nice 106.7 on the dial BDKsilly. Get better writers and work on more natural dialogue. The camera work is phenominal

You nailed it my friend. Like a few other posters have commented about asking question I too find myself trying to piece together the metaphors between the interaction between Chris and Jackie and Chris and the biker. Good luck with Steven Spielberg.

I really liked it. The video was very crisp, the story made me ask lots of questions, love the flash backs, voice over. Interesting and look forward to your next project. Also love that the radio has 106.7 on it (The Fan Wash DC) .

The only way of getting out of hurting the ones you love is to stop loving them, or convince yourself they never loved you at all.
