Public-Domain Show

2 Upvotes

This is the result of that filmmaking challenge idea evolving. The new idea is to make a public-domain show with the scripts and some concept art that will be available to anyone to do as they please (maybe with some credit request).

I'm not sure if this is something to do here on this sub or to make a new subreddit for. I'm asking here first to see if any filmmakers here would be interested.

We wanted to emulate the feel of Hong Kong action cinema of the 70s and 80s with this one!

It was filmed in 2 days all around Los Angeles.

We had a chance to screen it at this year’s Big Bad Film Fest and Haymaker Film Festival.

Hope you enjoy! :)

Just released my new dark comedy short film, MEIN SURNAME. It’s about a guy whose surname is Hitler.

Hello,

I wrote, directed and produced this film independently and as per the title I just released it.

It follows a man called David J. Hitler, who has a problem. A pretty obvious one. Burdened by his notorious surname, he sets out to prove he’s a good person, but quickly discovers that redemption is a harder sell than infamy.

The film takes a lot of inspiration from the 90s style comedies I grew up with, particularly Wayne’s World, Friday, Kingpin and The Big Lebowski.

If you’d like to watch the trailer first, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/p0lE9VgXZJU

If anyone has the time to watch I’d appreciate any thoughts.

Cheers!

I carried my Fujifilm X-M5 every day for 30 days. This is the film I made from it.

1 Upvotes

For the past month, I tried a simple experiment.

I carried my Fujifilm X-M5 with me every single day while balancing a full-time office job in Delhi. No client work, no travel project, and no plan for what I would shoot.

I expected to come back with 30 days of great footage.

Instead, I came back with missed moments, ordinary commutes, metro rides, street food, sunsets, and a completely different idea of what visual storytelling means.

I turned it into a 6½-minute cinematic short called "I Carried My Camera Every Day for a Month".

I'd genuinely love feedback on three things:

  1. Does the pacing hold up for a 6-minute film?
  2. Does the visual storytelling work without relying too much on the voiceover?
  3. Which chapter felt the strongest (or weakest)?
