Forever Friend

One of my favourites of the night, nicely shot (really liked the time lapse shots) and the story was very sweet with a nice/unexpected payoff at the end. The acting was very nice as well.The audience seemed to enjoy it a lot too and was a great way to kick off the evening. Too bad it seemed a bit dark but that was more to do with the levels in the theater than the film itself. The concept of immobilized though doesn't come across very well, while watching I assumed it was to do with the ending but I was told later that it was the relationship between the two characters and one being in the "friendzone" was how the character was immobilized, execution needed a bit of work. The opening shot was nice with the car but made the film a bit confusing. Overall though really nice work.

An Immobilised genre film, right? I don't get it. Is there something so subtle in this film that I'm just too dense to see? They sit on a sofa in animal onesies, challenge each other to stay awake (seriously) then they run together, drink coffee and go for another run. They almost kiss, but ukelele instead. While going for another run, theres a nice trip-fall-kiss moment, again they're still not immobilised, and He is struck and killed by a car. Strangely, she congratulates herself 'for winning' at his funeral. Thats not funny and its still not true to the genre. Dead is dead, its not immobilised. Or am I missing something here? A stuck relationship maybe? Help. This is from the same team that made the flawed but likeable femme fatale 'Chastity kills' in 2012. While Chastity had some highlights in it, (nice camera, nice audio, good character) this, well, its not. Apart from the sexy as toffee timelapse shots, the remaining camerawork was dull, inconsistent lighting and average audio didn't help this one pitch itself across the line. Yeah-nah, it was supposed to be Immobilised, but became Incomprehensible. Yeah, thats it.

Well done on some stunning images! The time lapses worked wonderfully, and you had some very nice lighting at times. The story was quite simplistic, but it did allow you to communicate your idea very well. Your actors did a very good job, and a highly entertaining film was produced. Some dialogue was a little unclear, but no big issue. Unsure about the possible subversion of the genre, it was creatively done, and made an interesting take on the genre, but could be seen as too significant a deviation from the norm. Did not in my opinion quite meet the requirements for the Immobilised genre to work. Nevertheless some good work.
