Stalemate
One day I will write a memoir on why this is a masterpiece of queer homoerotic cinema, but for now I just want to congratulate Team Infinity Pup on a bold, delicious first outing in the competition. Stalemate is a beautifully, distinctly directed piece of art that had me melting in my seat with it's cinematography and unabashed queerness. I was gripped throughout, left wanting more and pondering on meaning. Plus there's a cute af dog! Great take on the Pavlova Western genre and making amends for the depression that was Brokeback Mountain.
Immortal Wounds
Congrats team Dog & Wolf for making a film 100% on a phone that looks like it was shot on a premium kit. This really shows your eye for framing and cinematography. Also a great use of many of the elements, the film was really enjoyed in the heats. Well done Sticky and team!
S.W.A.P.
Another really strong outing from team Lamps and Plants. I'm a huge fan of your storytelling and your weird ambitious brains. This film was a really nice honing in and progress from your last entry with a focused story that really engaged audiences. Keep smashing it!
Sweet herats
Swan Ronson had the heats audience on the edge of their seat, reacting loudly and thoroughly invested in this story about an unfortunate rodent. You are a fantastic filmmaker with a strong vision and commitment to the competition. I love seeing what your mind comes up with year after year and I hope you keep smashing it for all of time. Or until you choose to quit. A highly considered film that fought hard to be a city finalist this year. Congrats on your nominations, keep killing it Eleanor.
Laser Jet: Awakening
What a bold, silly and funny film from team Popecar. I was dubious to start with the mundane setting and some of the hammy comedy, but man, you committed and what really spoke to me about this film was the awesome script and great performances, especially from your printer Gatekeeper. This film had audiences laughing at every punch line, punch and surprise sandwich. Please keep coming back and smashing it. Congrats on making the shortlist, and congrats on your nominations.
Hold For Applause
This was a smart, hilarious take on comedy of errors. And so domestic. I totally understood the loneliness of the main character and enjoyed the ride we went on. Totally saw the ending coming as soon as the scissors entered, and that's not a bad thing at all. Audience was then on the edge of their seat anticipating it. Great twist at the end too. Come back and keep smashing it.
