FORGE: A Feature Film by 500 Cuts

Forge Scenes 38 – 41 from 500 Cuts on Vimeo.

After John (Jeffree Newman) kills some thugs with The Tech, Paul (Luke Clements) scrambles to grab the keys to their car. To his surprise, Amanda (Jana Lee Hamblin) has come looking for him. He does his best to convince her everything is fine. He returns to the lab to find Jimmy (Alexander Mendeluk) and John have cleaned up. Dinner conversation isn’t what it used to be in the aftermath.

Usual Disclaimers: The mix, color correction, and vfx are all temp.

I sent off a WIP copy of the movie to Sundance last Friday.  They should get it tomorrow.  I’m also prepping a copy of the film to send to Cinetic, a rep company.  We’ll see how that goes.  I’m not optimistic about getting into Sundance… not because the movie isn’t good, but because they don’t really handle small pictures anymore.  A film like Primer from 2004 only got in because the guy paid a rep company to hit the review board hard with PR.  I don’t know if that’ll work  for me because A) I don’t have any money to pay a rep company.  And B) It’s difficult to find a rep company that isn’t out to swindle you.

Despite full anticipation of rejection, I’m feeling a huge weight off now that the movie has been sent out at least once.  So now I can work on it without feeling that pressure all the time.

Which is nice.
