You wait 20-odd years to make a film, then two come along...
I've recently disappeared from Apolyton in order to finish the post-production of my first student film project and make another short for my film course (in a state of panic as I'd left it all to the last minute).
I'm finding it very difficult to get anyone to respond even half-honestly about the films... I see lies in their eyes as soon as I ask what they thought.
So I'm wondering if any apolytoners would be willing to d/l a short film from me, and post some comments/critisism.
The second project is the only one I have at the moment as it was made on DV and edited on my computer, but the other is 16mm and I haven't got a video copy yet.
Any takers?

[MORE EDIT: if anyone else wants to do d/l it, I'd be grateful if you could do a little experiment: turn the sound off on the movie and try watching the film whilst listening to music you consider powerful, roughly 3 1/2 to 4 mins worth. I find I enjoy the film a lot more when I turn off the terrible sound and stick Shellac over it. I'd still like more comments/critisism (glutton for punishment) so don't be shy!]
