All I have to say is wow loved it
"I eated it" – iconic! I love this character's eccentric performance throughout.
An interesting take on the found footage genre. Funny that a bunch of friends spent their weekend making a movie about a bunch of friends making a movie.
Some fun twists at the end, including the guy disappearing but leaving his clothes behind when he's punched and told "You're not real!" I don't understand where this guy came from or what the relevance of his costume is – he just sort of randomly appears – but I love that he is front and centre in the poster, like the film is a period piece about him and nothing else.
A very random film but that's kind of the point.
Great work!! The camera work fit the found footage really well and the occasional close-up's really aided the comedic timing. Also thought the intro sequence gave similar vibes to the film "Creep".
There were a couple moments where I was bit confused about the overarching genre, besides the found footage. The music during the intro felt out of place to the horror elements. I think finding music that had a more creepy vibe would've really supported the film better. Additionally, the dialogue felt clunky in places, which made the story hard to follow. In the future, it would help to do a brief table read to understand pacing and dialogue flow.
I really did enjoy the chaotic nature and it made for an entertaining watch.

Mind blowing to discover that some of the creatives on this film are also responsible for 'Follow Your Dreams' by Carmen Road Academy Films - the final shot of that film will stay with me forever.
Okay so look, this is a hard one to give serious feedback to, because it's clear that you had a huge amount of fun messing about and putting together a silly little fun time. Friends walking around looking for aliens, and along the way they make best friends with Crazy Moe and Jesus Christ himself, what more can you ask for!
Well, there's a few things I'll ask for - namely clarity of story, and coherent conversation.
All the fragments of these different ideas are sorta present, and some of them were sorta funny! But this thing was so incoherent that it whizzes right past obsured and finds itself in the realm of dragging it's feet for most of the run time. Don't mean to be a downer! But when your job is to watch 70 films twice, this one makes you feel quite tired.
THE BEST THING: Crazy Moe saying I eated it.
THE NEXT THING: Continue to have fun - but try make your film clear enough so that we can all have fun too.
