FIRST TIME [RECUT]


Here is the recut I made of Standby Productions entry in this year's Minneapolis Film Race.

I tweaked some of the time of the cuts, mostly for comedic timing and also to keep the film under four minutes as it had to in the contest. Added in the opening Standby Productions animation created in one night at QCTV studios during last year's 24 Hour Film Race by the talented Justin Tholl. Also, the dialogue about handing over the phone, and a few miscellaneous shot and take changes. To see the edit seen at the 24 Hour Film Race theatrical premiere [click here].



Shout outs to all the folks who helped make it happen once again! Rich Millhouse Oxley, Clayton Ebeling, Kassandra Langum, Nicki Andert, Joseph Young, Brian Hoskins, Samantha Hanus, Daniel Steinberg, Mccrae Olson, Justin Aarestad, Vashti Knazze, Joey Giovelli, Jesse Feltz, Bre Füss, Alana Bloom, Justin Cooke, and Frank Gores. Also, to the Langum's who gave us a house to call homebase, and Saint Therese for giving us a shooting location.

On the recent watch list: once again The Hurt Locker which truly is raw and is indeed a near perfect motion picture. It's like a nasty car crash, only with this it only gets more jarring upon a second take. No Country for Old Men [flawless victory], The Phanton, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and the Blu-ray release of the theatrical cuts of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. My jaw hit the floor when I saw middle-earth in high definition! Let's not get into those eerie specular highlights. More coming soon, stay tuned! RRRrrrRRRrrr...
