So I heard about this @jessops short film competition late last year. I’m usually not one for competitions, because usually despite my usual optimism, I tend to never bother because various factors always discourage me from trying. However, here was one, where I somehow had an interesting idea, I figured I’d just run with it and see what happened. Of course other than the camera and actors (One of whom I lucked out on by sheer chance of good graces. Thanks Tara!), resources were to be as always the main problem. But what the hell, it’s a short film, and what are shorts but for experimenting and taking chances with. I’d been meaning to do a short, so what does it matter if it was for a contest, win or lose. At the end I still have a short film, and my 2012 has started well as a result, film wise I mean. So, after 2 days shooting with some script juggling in terms of locations, and some on and off editing and a sourced soundtrack, here it is! Even got my first comment from the competition page. One of those bitter sweet ones you know, where the positives though visible, are somehow thrown into unbalance by the one thing. You can’t please everyone, but hey, at least I made a film. Hope you enjoy
