Film Festival Season
Just came from a round of surfing film fest sites. Right now I am so psyched to get my films done and get them out there. First on the list is the .Mov Digital Shorts fest, which will be held this December in Cebu. I shot "Boyfriend Seat" with the intention of entering it in this festival but I realize I have less than 2 weeks to edit it and mail a DVD copy to Manila! So just when I couldn't get busier enough, along comes a new thing I have to do amidst my papers, edits, final school projects...
But then again, that's the story of my life.
Finally finished a complete cut of "Locked" and it comes in at under 14 minutes. Mel and I watched it and she had some valid constructive comments, mainly- What's Frank's motivation? She couldn't quite relate to his character, he wasn't engaging enough. I realize I've been editing the film through the eyes of someone who knows the story. I wrote and directed the damn thing, of course I assume everyone else who hasn't seen it would "get" it just as easy. How foolish. Need to take a few days off from it, then watch it again.
Do my paper do my paper do my paper. Why do I hate writing papers so much?
