Alpha Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Case in point: Innocense ended up winning the most awards for me last night... And that was only 1k-2k words long. My long films seem to win the most. And, riczhang, even though Risk Management was a good movie, the extremely long and descriptive plot was excuciatingly boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 ChD, there's no point in making a super long film. A film with 5,000 words is just as good as a film with 15,000 words. It's not like I do it on purpose. That's how it's turning out and I ain't gonna change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Just make sure that we're actually getting a good movie out of that length, and given Heavy Rain, that shouldn't be too much of a problem for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Just make sure that we're actually getting a good movie out of that length, and given Heavy Rain, that shouldn't be too much of a problem for you. That was adapted... This is original, so you can't know for sure if it's going to be good or not. I hope it will be. You will be one of the first to find out, though. I'm submitting it for the Festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Currently writing Home of the Brave, it will probably be around 5-6k words. Pretty average amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm about 1.5k words into Cinema Studies, and a lot of it feels really close to me. It feels kind of semi-autobiographical in many regards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find the right time to do my "passion project." May do it before I leave (which hopefully won't be anytime soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitch, if you ever leave I'll come after you. So... I might (MIGHT) finish the movie today. Anyone up for a pre-read before I submit it to the Festival? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Keeping it a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Keeping it a secret? It will always remain a secret. Even after the movie is released! And no, It's not going to be similar to Twilight to anyone was going to make that joke >.> It will have some elements from Bridge of Terabithia and Pirates of the Caribbean (Actually, from Caribbean, only a specific scene will be 'copied' in my movie - and that not even entirely...)
