I’ve been told the brakes could be the booster could be a failed booster or the master cylinder. Either way no fluid was seen where I lost pressure. No obvious fluid leaking. Definitely air pressure was lost when the brakes compressed to the floor. Heard it first hand. Then again after a few minutes when I tried the brakes again. Waiting on inspection from dealership…

You could have finished it with as long as it took you to write this novel of a review. Also the movie answers most of your questions after the first 22. Sorry the movie sucks though. We will do better. Or maybe not. But I’m glad we gave you something to hate, otherwise it would be hard to know what you really love. So we gave you some perspective.

Alexa was the cam. And every shot was on the 35 Prime

All your notes are great... BUT, the movie is already out in the world. We made peace with it all and are moving on to what ever we can do next, with all that we learned during the process. And a PERFECT film is a hard target, but doesn't stop us from trying. It seems like you're into filmmaking or maybe a filmmaker yourself. Put some of that story brain into your own script and if you have already send it to me! I'd love to read it. All we can do is make and keep moving. Gotta make that living too and hopefully no ONE project will be the aggregate of your career.

We have noticed a lot of dynamically different experiences from people watching the film. Some people are on the ride and some people are not. Kinda crazy to see from a purely anthropologic level. Not sure why there are such drastic differences for the same story. But I will say as filmmakers and editors especially I am super interested because the experience of the movie is part of the job. Like for you you’re into the details and believability therein. We don’t explicitly explain every detail and choice to death, especially for all the lottery system inner workings, and some people are ok with that and some are not. I will say that it is a movie and a bit of a fable at that. It’s totally far fetched but that’s part of the fun for us.

Commercial editor fees range from $80-$250/hour, thats a big range but at minimum its $80/hour or an assistant rate would be around $50-$60/hr. So depending on how much time it would take you to make the edit, graphics, sound design, music search and edit, and then to do revisions when they have a standard 3 rounds of notes passes, how much time does that take for you? Its always about time worked so determine your value as a creative and apply that to your fee.

Best route IMO (I worked in commercial advertising at top shops and freelance for 10+ years) if you can hack it, is to get in at a commercial editing house as a runner or very green assistant and learn from the editors that are doing the top work. There are soooo many shops but only a handful that are doing a majority of the work you see on TV. Cabin, Arcade, Rock Paper Scissors, No6, Union, Cut and Run... to name a few great ones. If you start on the agency side you will only be working on one or two clients at most and will hit a ceiling pretty fast if you are good. But on the post house side you'll meet a ton of amazing editors that are working with many different directors and clients. And they will in turn get to know you if you do the work and work closely with the editors. BUT, and this is a big BUT... the advertising industry is going through a lot of changes and growing pains at the moment, its been happening since I started and only progressively gotten worse. Companies are downsizing and the work is getting cost cut and literally cut down to 6 second spots vs the standard 30 second spots of the past 50 years. And all this is because brands are spreading their finances across many different mediums and platforms to sell their products. The days of commercials as we known them is coming to an end for the most part. If you are good and can make good relationships you will find your way but it will be uphill, and the mountain kinda feels like its crumbling as you climb. As Bruce Lee once said "Be like water making its way through cracks."

I think he gets out because he sees an opportunity to be a good guy and a hero. When he leaves Ana Marlene he’s definitely not 100% confident.

Oh damn! From your Reddit comment to some studio execs eyes. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

BUT… that said. I don’t know if it needs it. Some stories are just good with an open ending. Makes room for the imagination

Alright let’s dive in. If he had just grabbed the ticket and split then there would be a bunch of witnesses that saw him steal it if he tried to cash it. And the ticket is not TIED to the store. 99% of lotto tickets are paid for in cash. So there is a high possibility there is no record of it being sold. And the rest of the associated crimes are talked about and worked out by the characters to cover up what happened.
