I'd like to start by saying that the author has excelled at a couple of things in this script. The first is unique freshness. While maybe there's a bit of flavor of other stories that take an off-the-wall approach in their telling, this script is definitely unique and memorable. I also think the dialogue was great. That's what I enjoyed most about the story. When I first... read

Blind-sided

A review of Twists Of Fate

by AdjustableFilms on 10/19/2006

An easily-read, engaging script that keeps interest. Having just read another script where a hostage falls for her captor, the author does a nice job of avoiding cliches in the relationship between Lee and Joey, and in building their relationship believably. The opening scene seemed a bit strange until the twist was revealed in the end. I thought that was executed effectually... read

A review of Sweden On $8 A Day

by AdjustableFilms on 08/11/2004

Interesting story of a guy meandering through his life. Good production value: cinematography, editing, sound, direction and on-camera performances all worked well. I thought the aspect ratio was odd - did your dp compose it this way or was it an editing decision? The only other thing I didn't really enjoy was the narration. The actor had a very monotone voice and it got... read

Briefly...

A review of News Brief

by AdjustableFilms on 08/02/2004

All the technical aspects worked in this short. It's hard to comment on editing because there were only two shots, but sound and camera were also both fine. Acting-wise, I thought the anchor was a bit slow with his delivery, but then I've never seen a BBC newscast and this might have been a choice the actor made because of his character's mental state. Overall, despite being... read

Comme les Cochons review

A review of Comme Les Cochons

Definitely thought provoking. Nice imagery. I don't like reading production notes before watching a film, so on the first viewing I got some of what you were trying to do, but not all of it. It's an interesting concept, showing the two possibilities, though the idea was a bit vague. I thought it was technically very good...camera, editing, sound were all up to par. Just... read

Clone Jesus review

A review of Clone Jesus

by AdjustableFilms on 07/30/2004

This short had alot of nice things about it. I really enjoyed the documentary aspect of the film...a different type of homeless doc than we usually see, so it was catchy. Then we realize the story is Jacob's. I don't think it was the best choice to shoot the scenes with him in front of his birthday cake and stuffing his face. The acting elsewhere was really good, but in... read

A treat

A review of TRICK or TREAT!

by AdjustableFilms on 07/30/2004

Little kids are really scary, especially with freaky masks like that! Though not the slickest film in pacing or camera, it's still sufficiently scary enough to keep the viewer in the palm of your hand. Nice twist with the policeman, it added a burst of energy that seemed to come at just the right time. Then the second twist really ended the short with a bang. Overall, the... read

Knotted review

A review of KNOTTED

by AdjustableFilms on 07/29/2004

I thought, technically, this short was reasonably sound. The camera work, sound, production design, editing and directing were all apt and of appropriate style. I didn't find the story engaging, though, and I think it's more an issue for me of being told rather than shown what's going on. It was so internal and I hadn't gotten invested in the characters enough to care about... read

HYSTERICAL

A review of Got One !

by AdjustableFilms on 07/29/2004

You guys consistently deliver with your creative and humorous shorts. I laughed out loud with this one. While the 'animation' technique was not quite as slick as I've seen you do with some of your other stuff, I really enjoyed the Egg Head's gestures and expressions. Glad you made it into the festival and I look forward to watching more of your shorts. Great job!

Sweet

A review of The Unsinkable Freddie Krakauer

by AdjustableFilms on 07/27/2004

I thought this was a nice, simple and sweet story told very humbly. Your actors were really good. Jeff Cole reminds me quite a bit of David Arquette. Cinematography was okay...some shots were composed with a bit too much headroom and there was one shot in the office right when Molly walks in where it almost looks like you crossed the 180 line. I wish you'd been more on... read
