"Speak Out" | Short Film (Drama)

Tyler is a high school kid who stutters, and is being bullied by another student named Brad Hutchison. Not having enough courage to tell anyone, Tyler puts himself in a position to where he is helpless and could lead to a tragic event.

This movie was a project for "I Sing the Body Electric." This was to show other teenagers that they should have the courage to speak out when being bullied.

I really enjoyed the end, and some of the pacing was good, but there are a couple of awkward cuts that I personally would have edited differently. Also, the directing was not always consistent. By this I mean to say that some your cinematography was very well set up, but that created contrast with the rest because it was stylistically much different. However, for a student project, this was respectable. There is a lot to work on, and I only say all of this to help, but overall, well done!

@DanielWFilms I really appreciate your opinion. And you're right, I do need to improve directing wise. I'm going to Columbia College to major in film directing. Thanks! :D

Hi there I agree nice pacing, but the cuts should be more consistent. Also sound should be a lot better, better mic, more near the actors vocal cords, also record some dead air , which makes the sound more consistent, you will learn all this in Film school,

I have been a professional film/ video producer for 10 years.

Remember this, Great acting, excellent consistent sound, and good script, are the main ingredients that makes a great movie.

Good luck

Have fun

Danny

It was great. I have a friend that stutters and I know people can be very rude to those who stutter. I was wondering if tyler really does stutter in real life?
