Young, Bobby Young

Phenomenal effort. Outshone several films at tonight's screenings made by people close to double their age. Laughed violently, amazing acting and thought it also made use of a succinct story. Well done guys! Can't wait to see next years film.

Great talent here from a bunch of guys only 14/15 yrs. Well told story with good camera work and well paced editing. Could have used a little more close ups. Damsel in distrest and having the lead character team up with someone to continue the quest is a must for the quest film i think, and you guys did that well. Entertaining but he ending could have been foreshadowed a little better, felt it was a little random. Can't wait to see what else these guys come up with, (this comp or otherwise) in the future. Keep it up!

A farmer returns home to find his wife? has been kidnapped. He teams up with another guy to get her back from the gang of toughs who have her held at their well-guarded HQ. Nice work here from a young team. Good attempts at showing a long journey through use of sweeping scenary shots. Also good use of slow-motion for the final shoot-out. Love how they came to the HQ to "battle it out like men". On the flip side of this, your actors were to young for the characters thye were playing. I think you could have managed the same story with characters your own age. Very cool effort though and hope you return next year!

They were only 13 I believe, Spooceman! That's what they said in their intro anyway. Excellent.

Wifenap! A farmer, Bobby Young, gets home to to discover a ransom note from a nefarious villain, who his kidnapped Bobby's wife and demands a ransom. Bobby Young won't be standing for that sort of nonsense, so he enlists a gun-owning mate and together they set out on an epic journey to the villain's stronghold. You can tell it's epic because of the amount of running they do, and because they have to stop and build a campfire. (We tried to put a campfire scene in our film to demonstrate epicness; the one you guys had blew ours away.) After the long journey they arrive at the villain's hideout. They sneak round some guards in order to find the best spot from which to shoot them; this accomplished the villain is driven out, but oh no! He's got Bobby's knife at wifepoint! Wait, no, the other way around. Bobby suggests they put down their weapons and "fight like men". The villain agrees, but as it turns out that isn't a smart move, as Bobby whips his gun back up and blows him away. Years later, Bobby (or was it the villain?), now an old man, regretfully recalls his actions. Hopefully these guys will become regulars in the competition; great effort from some young blokes. A fairly basic sort of a plot and characters to be sure, but some decent shots and some great moments (especially Bobby's Mal Reynolds-like pragmatic victory) that kept the audience entertained all the way through. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.
