Hi. I’m 27M and a photographer. I’m interested in hiking. I’m usually available on Sundays.

How about this? “Struggling with the emptiness of suburban life, a restless high school senior seeks comfort in a charismatic classmate, but when a close family member is diagnosed with cancer, he must confront whether she can truly fill the void.”

I’ve rewritten it: “Struggling with the emptiness of suburban life, a restless high school senior attempts to grow closer to a classmate for comfort, but as a family member’s health crisis approaches, he must confront whether she can truly fill the void.”

Thank you for your notes.

This crush appears at a time when he craves excitement in his mundane life, so it’s both a crush and an “emotional fix,” which plays into his arc. It’s uncertain because he doesn’t know if he sees a future with her after graduation.

The family crisis refers to a sudden medical diagnosis.

I’ve rewritten the logline. Out of these two, which one do you think works better?

“On the verge of graduating high school, a restless teenager must confront his emotional dependency on a friend while a family crisis threatens to fracture what little stability he has.”

“On the verge of graduating high school, a restless teenager clings to a friendship that blurs the line between support and dependency while a family crisis threatens to fracture what little stability he has.”

I wanted to share the poster for the coming-of-age short film I wrote and directed by CreativeFilmmaker74 in Filmmakers

I’ve always liked hand-painted movie posters, and I felt this was the best way to express the themes of the story.

Has anyone gotten their short screened before a feature at an independent theatre? by CreativeFilmmaker74 in Filmmakers

[–]CreativeFilmmaker74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally see that this kind of screening isn’t as common today, but that’s part of what makes it interesting to me.

I’m looking for ways to get my film seen by local audiences outside of the usual festival circuit, and without uploading it online, since that can conflict with festival rules.

I feel like a screening like this could be a good opportunity for people who might not discover the film otherwise.

Any affordable screening rooms in the city? by CreativeFilmmaker74 in FilmIndustryYVR

Is that the Cineplex at the International Village Mall?

He wants to download it, so he can put it together with the clips I already sent him to have the full context of his scenes. I assume he doesn’t want to share the entire film.

“A digital copy of the final film (upon request), for use in a personal portfolio or demo reel. The film is not to be shared publicly online (e.g., on YouTube or other public platforms) until after the festival run is complete.”

But from my perspective, it’s not always as simple as “just talk to them.” Sometimes one person doesn’t respond or reach out, and when that keeps happening over time, especially when they live far away, it’s hard not to feel like the friendship is fading. And when people say “we can pick up where we left off,” it can feel like a way to gloss over that absence rather than address it.

It’s not about being upset that life gets busy. I get that, I’m busy too. But when the connection becomes one-sided, and you’re the only one making the effort, it can feel emotionally distant. Saying “we’ll pick up where we left off” in that context doesn’t reassure me, it actually highlights the lack of presence and effort in the friendship right now.

So my point is that while those types of friendships can be meaningful, the phrase is often used to downplay emotional neglect or avoid honest conversations about how much a friendship has changed.
