A Silence In Sam's Town

This is an absolutely beautiful film.
At the screening this evening everyone was completely silent throughout and at the last shot you could hear the room's quiet gasp.
This is a film that sticks with you.

The cinematography was amazing, the acting was incredible! You have used everything in your toolbox to create one of the most moving films in the competition.

Brunch Solstice

This film is awesome! The dialog is very well written, and is delivered very convincingly.
I love the awkward deadpan nature of the whole thing!

You had a good variety of shot types as well! It kept switching up and worked in conjunction with a great script and acting, keeping us (the viewer's) interested and hooked!

The twist end was also very well set up and satisfying to watch! Great work!

LARVAE GIRL THE ROAD TO REVENGE PART 2

The most epic reveal of all time in the theatre,

The most hilarious gore,

And such a satisfying ending,

This was incredible.

LARVAE GIRL THE ROAD TO REVENGE PART 1

You have improved so much since last year! Although last year's film was absolutely hilarious and you made it to the regional finals, this year's had so much more story, and most of the gags helped forward the story instead of just being gags! This was such a blast to see in the theatre.

Your camera work has improved as well, we as the audience almost feel like a character in the story with the amount of involvement the camera has!

Absolutely loved this one, and the sequel! Keep it up!

Ghost PTSD

This film is really good! Your actors sold it quite well, and each shot looked really nice! This film really made you feel things, especially in the theatre.

Now, I do have one thing that I think would have improved this film, but it's not a big grip! this is quite minor, but I think it would've just elevated your film that bit more!
I think that this film would have felt a lot deeper if you hadn't gone through every shot shown before and shown him fading out. You built up a sense of mystery and depth throughout the film, making us a viewers have to think and try to figure out what was happening, then you revealed everything to us and sort of shallowed out your plot by laying everything so clear and bare at the end. If you had left out a lot of the shots of him disappearing then it would make the film so much more rewatchable, because (for example) on your second watch you would see the shot of him with his son and realise "Wait... He's not there!". You would still be thinking about it and learning new things about the film with each watchthrough.

That great wall of text is only a minor thought though! All in all this is really well made, and a poignant piece.

Glove Box

I really enjoyed the impressive cinematography in this one! every shot is really nice to look at, and both your leads are great actors!

A thing to work on would probably be your story. this film felt more like a moment in time than anything else. we were sort of dropped into the middle of the action, and it felt like we were pulled out before the story finished.

But overall, this was quite good, and I can't wait to see what else this team comes up with!

The Road Not Taken

You guys did a great job telling a classic poem with many different animation styles! It flowed together nicely, and was peaceful to watch. What may be a good idea for the future is to try and record cleaner audio, but apart from that you guys did a fantastic job, especially for making it in only 24hours!!!

Gates To Castle Yonder

I said this to you guys at the screening this evening, but I will say it again here:
I saw this pop up in the screening room and from the get go it looked like it was going to be great.... It did not disappoint!
This film is absolutely hilarious, and the final hook is such a hilariously satisfying ending!

The cinematography in this is very well done, and the acting is spot on for each character!

The Little German Boy and the Cave

My favourite film from the first heat, had me nearly in tears within the first 10 seconds, an absolutely hilarious ride!
Other people have noted this, but your pacing did slow down near the end, if you cut the boat vs house scene a bit shorter that would have helped a-lot!

Overall, this film is wild, absolutely loved it!

Pop's Precious Pranks

I loved this one, it's hilarious! The whiplash of switching to a completely different style, then right back again for the end was perfection. The pacing was excellent, and the acting was brilliant, especially from your lead actress!

And that final shot of the cop walking up..... so good....

This was a very well put together film, with a great premise and incredible acting!
