Could you email me a downloadable version of your film? (justinsuperstar@yahoo.com) Upload it to drop.io or something like that please (it's for my review show I'm making)

My QUICK review:

LOVE the old timey effect on the film. Usually I hate that kinda stuff, but this doesn't look 'stock' like a lot of other ones. Also the camera and the DOF is perfect for it. Freaking hilarious, I love a lot of the lines in this. Awesome concept. Easily one of my favs!!!

Full review coming soon once I get that hot hot file from you.

I really like your shot selection throughout the entire film as it creates that eerie 1920’s feel. One thing I’m not too big a fan of though is the spotlight effect. I get disengaged seeing the frames basically cookie cut out. Your frame can be used to tell a lot about a situation and/or character and should always be used to the fullest rather then cut in half. I know you did this to get an old detective film style effect but there’s a reason why this effect is not used anymore. The lines are brilliant. Your actors capture the essence of those old film noirs perfectly with lines such as “how thick is your water!?”. The writing aspect of your film is probably the best part about it. You seem to have put a tremendous amount of time into pre production and it shows! The actors could have been mic’d better, especially the female lead. Outtakes!

Oh this one had me laughing the whole time! I love the reverse prejudice your character has. Seems to be an underlying commentary about that. Am I right? I think this is my favorite. Yeah, it is. You got my vote.

Now for criticism, I'd just say the old-film effect is a bit too loud. But that's my only gripe.

Hosted on Funny or Die. I vote FUNNY. Funny haha, not funny queer. Well, both in this case, I guess. Great acting and delivery. Really captured the old style nicely. Voice over on some of the outside stuff? Good choice, but also not too obvious.

Great actress! Wow. She really came off super natural. I really liked the shot with the girl on the bridge and the sun behind her head. Great shot. Great 1920s look. The sound came in good too. I like the play on words of San Fransisco "Gay Bridge / Bay Bridge", ha ha.
