Anthony - Beautifully shot and executed. It's nice to see something with a little polish on here. Kudos. Marvin - It seems to me it is about a man struggling with substance abuse and perhaps mental anguish that comes along with addiction, and the story follows him as he makes the decision to either get better or crumble under the weight of the addiction.

Anthony-I felt as if I were in France screening an artist's work of deep emotion, dark and light, that is usually only portrayed by the French. This work is rare and you should be proud of it. MEg

Had a look and your trailer looks great. Please post more info about youself, website etc... Hit me up with what you are looking for Anthony, and I'll write a short in the mood and theme you want. I have a number of shorts optioned and produced so I know what makes them a stand out. Alternatively, I also have a short that would suit your style, it's titled "Marble Town" one location (a cemetery) and about a dozen characters. Regards Alex

Hi Anthony,sent you a message about my short film script.

Hello Anthony, I also have a short screenplay and I think that your visual style would go great with my script. Let me know if you would like to read it.

Just seen all the other comments - thankyou so much for your encouragement :) Genuinely means a lot - onwards and upwards! :D

Sorry - that made no sense the previous message was deleted somehow! Anyway - thanks all so muhc for your kind words. It makes it all worthwhile when you get good feedback from the film community :D

So cleverly done, can't wait to see the full film, love the hidden opening credits it took the eyes for a ride.. Nice touch!

Very polished and professional. I enjoyed it. Would it b presumptuous to ask if you could recommend a screenwriter who might be willing to convert a short story to screenplay?

Sorry for the VERY late response! We've been manic. Ooh - good question and not at all presumptuous! You could try Persephone Vandegrift - she's a Stage 32-er I think. :)

No I wasn't downing any crew members because of the pay. If crew members get paid alot then good for them. I AM an ACTOR and want to be on stage doing what I'm passionate about. Being a crew member is not what I am going for as far as career goals.

unless you have been in the Industry for a long time, and have worked on many projects, being part of a crew is a great way to learn all the technics that go into a film.

If you are a member of S.A.G. or AFTRA, OR EQUITY you can get into a lot of trouble for doing non-union work, unless you get clearance first. if you haven't joined these unions yet then you can do the work.

If it says union only they probably won't see you, however if they DO indeed see you they might want you. If that is the case, that might be your ticket into the Union.

yes Ed's right you could get in via the Taft Hartley ruling when they say UNION ONLY It's most times because they are having to pay PENSION AND WELFARE so they need very experienced Actors

very interesting

Hi Paul. Are you in the market for a Drama/Biopic/ Historical feature? If so, why not check out my screenplay, Red Crucible, posted on this site?

Yes. I actually have over 30,000 hours.

Hello & welcome, You have a good resume and I loved that moview "Boiler Maker" as a matter of fact.

Paul! I am a professional union VO talent who specializes in voicing movie trailers. Let me know how I can help! --Jay Sawyer VoiceMaster Ltd. http://www.voicemasterltd.com
