While its quite disappointing to work on a film for 3 months and not be shortlisted, that’s film competitions for you. However, to view the shortlisted films and see a film run to nearly 2 minutes is bloody disheartening. ‘Depict’, please respect those film-makers who shaved precious frames, cut whole scenes and re-edited, in order to create films at the length you stipulated in your guidelines. Can Evelien Lohbeck do it in 90 seconds? No.
Doris Day, I agree its unfair its 2 minutes long, but without credits, and from the moment the screen flicks on it is actually 1:30, its more of a technicality I think
So, I was asking myself what DepicT were looking for this year and I think so far (4 down 8 to go) that it’s all about technique; the simulation of a story and so for me, what the….? Who cares?
I’d have been content if that was feature length 🙂
Reminds me of my life!
Simple idea that worked really well and brought to mind the 1970’s tv and butterflies..
Beautiful, unique – simple and elegant idea that works perfectly.
One of 2 that I genuinely enjoyed. Good work.

Fair point Celine. By the way, would love to duet one day, if I can get round to it before I head for the great Silver Screen in the sky.
