Interpretation (2008)
Very nice!
This was a really great short film, saw it at a local film fest. I really liked the setup of the characters. Really got you to care about them in a short amount of time...and that is not easy to do. You see these kinds of films a lot, and most are handled very poorly. This felt like a scene out of a big budget Hollywood film. I hope these guys continue to do what they do. As someone who sees a lot of bad indie films, this was a real pleasure to watch. I'd love to see what they can do with a bigger story.
The choreography is great, as well as the cinematography.
Nice work everyone!
Outrage (2009)
yikes!
What a mess of a film. I love indie flicks, something raw and unfiltered about them. So I thought this sounded fun. I recently saw this at the AOF film festival in Pasadena, and honestly can't believe this even got into a festival. It was amateur film-making at best. I wanted to walk out after a rather intense rape scene ended in a joke. The audience seemed really uncomfortable. If you are going to tackle something as serious as rape, you better be ready to understand the importance of it.
As the previous reviewer stated, the "slow" character Billy was a cliché' joke. Ace put him with overalls and super fake buck teeth. You never knew whether to laugh or feel bad for him. The writing was a mess, perhaps it would be handled more carefully under a better director. The story was very basic and the twist at the end was really really forced.
In the end, this was just directed really really badly. Ace has shots in the film where 2 people are talking and one is in day light, and the other in night...wtf? It's just lazy film-making. The FX are laughable, score is really annoying and even Madsen can't save this train wreck of a movie. It was so disappointing.
Don't listen to the clearly planted reviews from the director below. I have nothing to do with the film, I paid to see it, and damn I want my money back...and a shower.
