The Audition
Glad to see a silent film in the competition. Loved the bit where the piano player stood up and the piano was still playing, nice gag. I know it was an audition but I would have liked to have seen some difference in the 3 scenes as it felt a bit repetitive. Maybe one of the auditioners could have reacted differently and got angry back, or a parent could have been standing at the back and gotten angry at the treatment of their child. Might have provided some good slapstick, slipping and sliding in the flood of tears. Nice production values with crisp cinematography and overall an enjoyable film. Nicely done and congratulations on audience top 3.
Get Lost, Be Free
I quite liked this film. I loved the Narrators voice but I think you shouldn't have gone for rhyme because in parts it just didn't work. For a young entry (I think) it had a lot of heart in the story content which spoke of a mature attitude and 10 points for that. Keep that flavour in your films, steer clear of the "potty humour" and I'd like to see what you turn out next year.
