    Hello, I have watched many of these applications now and yours really stood out. I liked how your acting wasn't over the top, and the ideas were original and unique, unlike many other short films. My dad is a screenwriter so I have been bought up around films so I like to think I have become good at recognising talent and I thought you showed it. Enjoy film school.

      Words can not even describe how this comment made me feel. Thank you so very much for taking the time to say this. The actress is extremely talented, and she would also like to thank you for your words. I hope you have an amazing day as I know you just made mine. Take care!

    I've been watching so many of these film applications but this one is my favourite. so much so that I added it to my film playlist. I just love your style of storytelling and it really resonates with me; the sound design, the acting, the opening image. So good. Have fun in film school!

    This is really well made 🙌 something about your videos just has such a cool vibe to it 😅 I don’t know how to explain it but I just love them. And I honestly hope you make it far!
    Do you have any advice or tips for people who are just getting into filmmaking? Or even advice for filmschool/uni (although that’s still a way off). I’d really appreciate it!

    Well done, screenwriting was great and I particularly loved the first two or three shots-they were lingering and perfect. Your story was planned out well and I’m sure you’ll get better as you learn more in film. This was also better than most other applications, you avoided a lot of rookie mistakes, all the very best‼️💯

    That was absolutely lovely. I might consider recasting the guy as he doesn't seem "abusive." Not that there's a certain look, but there's definitely a certain behavior.

    Hello there! I’m an aspiring film director and am in the process of trying to transfer to Chapman university myself. I have no experience with film directing and was wondering if I could have some help on where to start? Great film btw!

    • @alexxatallah
      @alexxatallah  Год назад

      Hey!! Thanks for reaching out! Best of luck with transferring to Chapman, I’m sure you’d love it here or wherever your love for film takes you. The best way to start is to just start shooting. Literally anything! As long as you have a camera/phone, you can shoot. Practice techniques you can see in other films and see if you can find a style you enjoy shooting! If you have anyone around you that enjoys being in front of the camera, use that as a resource! Honestly just start shooting anything that you enjoy. Best of luck!

    I was expecting a horror film and I got one didn't I. It seems I spent most of my life helping women realize that it's time to leave, before it's too late.
    I met a young woman from Hazard, Ky whose husband kicked a butcher knife all the way through her hand.
    Why ? Because he had spent his check & beat her until he got hold of her check and spent that on drugs & booze too. All they had left in the house was pinto beans and potatoes & he was "FN SICK AND TIRED OF EATING GD BEANS AND POTATOES !!"
    Another older woman beat half to deaf by her husband because she wouldn't hand over her purse, which contained the only pictures she had left of her family and children that he hadn't burned or destroyed. He broke her glasses and kept her false teeth when the sheriff's dept came and the ambulance took her to the hospital. We've known a few over the years who didn't make it out in time. Or he found a way back in the house to finish what they started. Myself? After my last serious relationship I spent 2 years running from an ex who was found with 5 different weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition; who had measured off the 1000 yards distance he was court ordered to stay away. The most freaked out I got was past the 2 year mark. I lived in the Garrote apartment of a house with a double door keyed entry. It was midnight & my phone was ringing when I was trying to unlock the first door after getting off work.
    After running up the stairs to answer the still ringing phone..
    " I love that little hidey hole under the roof in your kitchen, you know the one beside that little white china cabinet.."
    Two fn years !!
