I don't have time to watch the video right now, but I fail to see how there are ethical concerns with terraforming Mars. I don't see how it's any different than transforming the desert into a sprawling cityscape.

so two lesbians are fighting over their child inbetween making out naked in a pool? I would watch that.

you got a script you could send along ?

what format did you shoot on ?

what are you editing on ?

are you editing or are you at a post facility ?

how much footage did you shoot ?

details ! send details !

glad to see other filmmakers on the sift!

Thanks, qruel. Yes, we're in post now. We haven't started editting yet, though. Um, the film is a drama. I'm terrible with pitches, but the best one I could come up with was Kramer v Kramer meets Wild Things, I suppose. Once we're done cutting it, we hope to get it out into festivals and all that. Right now, I'm just focusing on getting the film cut, and all that other marketing and festial stuff can wait for now.

wow, very cool. a feature is a helluva lot of work.

are you in post now ? if so where at ?

Haha, you are so right. I just shot a feature out here, and I swore never to shoot another one in LA. It's not friendly to indie filmmakers. I decided early on to go guerilla and shoot without permits, so we were constantly ducking cops. We only got kicked out of one area, which was by a Ranger up on a canyon trail overlooking the cityscape. So, we just packed everything up, made the hike down, and a week later we went back to get the rest of the shots.

Way too expensive out here to shoot. Next feature I do, I'm taking it back to North Carolina, which is where I'm from originally.

Hey, thanks for the compliment. we shot the film here in the midwest (along with all the other films on that site).

i've got a few friends in La nd they talk about how expensive it is and all the permits they have to get before shooting and it makes me wonder how any indie projects get done there

Hey, that's really well done. I wasn't expecting the spiders at the end. And, I loved the nod to Audition with her wardrobe at the end. Where did you shoot that? Out here in LA, or are you somewhere else? Great job.

I was posting to Farhad when i saw your comment about AUDTION. It was DEFINATELY creepy as hell. so here is a short movie I thought you might dig called THE EVIL INSIDE (forgive me if I already sent this to you). I edited this film and the director was a HUGE audition fan (you'll tell from the short) This is the 10 minute version (down from 30 minutes)

Farhad2000, I know you're a bit of the cinephile, and I've seen the video you posted of Audition in Bravo's 100 Most Scariest Movies. You may find this video I posted recently interesting: http://www.videosift.com/video/Clip-form-one-of-the-creepiest-horror-movies-ever-AUDITION

while i think the sift would tear it up, sure why not ? it might be fun to see the response it gets.

but i think any of these would do much better

By the way, would you mind if I posted your short film when I get a free spot in my queue? I'm sure the other sifters would enjoy seeing your work outside of the sift.

Also, have you seen the video Zifnab posted here: http://www.videosift.com/video/A-Scorsese-Directed-Short-Scripted-by-Hitchcock

I thought you may like it.

I don't know about exactly who did it or sings it, but when Sylvia is walking through Punch-Out's cityscape scene, the tune is from the first stage of Dr. Wily's Castle in Megaman 2. During the next part, that is a remix of Final Fantasy 6 boss music. And knowing is half the battle!
