Hello! Here's the full copy of a film I made not so long ago, for anyone who may be interested:

Hi James,

I enjoyed watching that, thanks for the link! It reminded me for some reason of 'Ashes to Ashes' meets 'The Prisoner' (60's version) - love the style.

Have you won any awards?

Really liked that - Thanks for sharing.
Have you done any more?

James · Mar 8, 2012

I got lazy and hardly submitted it to any festivals, maybe only 5 or 6. I'll probably have a go at a few of the smaller ones still, although not sure if it's getting a bit late now in its lifecycle. I was once up for "Best International Short" at the Minghella Film Festival (last year I think actually) but didn't win. I met Ralph Fiennes and a few stars and starlets though.

I have made other films, and done a lot of filming stuff for other people. I have three feature film scripts, planning to make one at some point soon. Not much funding for films in this vein though, so relies a bit on spending my own cash to get stuff made.

Your a genius.

I was expecting something a bit amateurish and nothing as good as this.

Do you have any the making of type of shots. Can see you now in those first shots sat on the back of a milk float filming or in a Prius with the back window kicked out. Sooo good.

Thanks for sharing James.

Even better when you watch it a second time

How did I miss so much?
I'll keep pondering on this for a while.
Love it!

Thanks Caz and Mike.

Yes, it was in the back of a van. I can't remember now if the doors were just left ajar. It was quite precarious though, and difficult for the actor as he had to cycle very close to the van and couldn't see where we were headed... resulting in the bike hitting the van a couple of times at junctions

I don't get what it's about at all

When I watched it the first time, I had the volume down a bit so as not to wake my boy, I didn't get it, thought I may have missed something with the volume being low, so I just watched it again with volume up high, but I still don't get it, what's it supposed to be about, some hidden message I'm missing?

James · Mar 9, 2012

Hi Systreg, it's a hidden message yes

btw to watch it in HD (looks much better), there's an option at the bottom of the player.

Systreg · Mar 9, 2012

@ James, I wont watch it again, if I can't see the message after seeing it twice, I'll never see it, all I see is, bloke goes in pub to deliver package, bloke dances down road with chickens, bloke sees doctor, bloke goes back to pub with parcel, not sure what the message is supposed to be from that :lol:

Anyone feel free to PM me the answer to the hidden question so as not to spoil it for others, cheers.
