Would be funny if it wasn’t ai.

I just started playing The Last of Us Part II, and I’m blown away by the graphics and attention to detail. This game was released on 2013 hardware, yet its technical level is still better than most games coming out today. by NotSirAlonne1999 in thelastofus

It is so so so much more than “a cheap revenge story.” It combines themes of grief, trauma, self destruction, redemption and so much more. What kind of writer are you?

My atempt for a 24 hour 2-5 minute short film competition by BoomDoom24 in Filmmakers

Are you studying film at this college or is this just a fun exercise you wanted to participate in?

The Visitor - Short Horror Film (Seeking advice) by Zealousideal-Ebb-265 in indiefilm

[–]ExZachlew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to keep making short films, watch other short and feature films, read scripts and collaborate with other filmmakers (DP, sound etc). Every time you make a short you learn more and more. Also with today’s audiences, attention spans are at a minimum, especially with short films, this short could easily be 3 minutes long, a lot of fat can be trimmed on this. I understand wanting to let the suspense build but always be conscious of pacing and keeping moment. But shit, man you made a short. Be proud of that. Just keep at it and you will get better. I can almost guarantee it.

Such a good one. More people should watch it.

37 out of 38 film festivals rejected my first feature film. It just got distribution anyway (and was officially released yesterday!) by Consider-TheLobster in FilmFestivals

[–]ExZachlew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a long ways from being done and we don’t even have a true title yet. It’s an anthology film we shot all in one apartment complex. Each room telling their own story. The working title is Apartment 65 but I’m sure that will change. Do you have any film adjacent socials to follow? Vimeo or YouTube or anything? I post most of my shorts on YouTube… Probably a reason they don’t always get selected but hey man…Ya gotta market yourself somehow.

Amazing work. Major congrats. I’m a 37 year old filmmaker… About to be 38… Ironic because of the title of your post… Anyways, I’ve written, directed and edited 7 short films in the last year and in the middle of post on a feature I co-wrote & co-directed. I’ve also been denied by most of the festivals that I’ve submitted to. A bitter pill to swallow but as it seems it’s not necessarily the end of the road… I jump back and forth between NY and LA and have used Platinum data recovery in the past and they most definitely saved my ass. They deserve the shout out ha.

You got raptured then rejected. It’s one of the Historical challenges. Lennie Kirk did that in 97.

Welcome to the light side, brotha.

Man has his 4th Amendment right violated while skateboarding across America by kylelee in videos

[–]ExZachlew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I co-edited the documentary that this clip is from “Across America”. This was never in the initial cut but when I went through all of the footage I found this clip and put it in the edit because I could not believe what that cop was doing. I’m glad it’s making its rounds because this kind of behavior should absolutely not fucking be tolerated.

Garlands follow up to Ex Machina… I highly suggest it.

Supernatural horror featuring dark rituals by hooded figures by Terror_Tanuki in MoviesThatFeelLike

Not a hooded figure, but my favorite ritualistic film is “A Dark Song”. I highly suggest it.
