* FILM * Second Hand Love Story

[Tom]

Hey guys.

I've been quietly tucked away working on things for the last few months, so have been a bit absent from the forum. Icharus Broken, the feature I shot last year, is with an agent in the US, presently being touted to distributors, so I've been busy with that.

But since then, two of the very talented actresses from the film decided to spur me into shooting a short film... We made the arrangements at the tail end of September, and a couple of days later, they came to see me. The result is Second Hand Love Story.

It was written in an hour, and shot later that afternoon. A week later, we had a film.

Feedback always welcome, and yes, it's overexposed, by that was deliberate (honest).

Cheers guys. Tom.

Just watched it. I'm gonna be completely honest, i thought it was okay. It is well acted, and its an interesting story. It's also very well written, but that may just be my problem with it... it seemed very written. Like... it didn't seem real. It felt like a film, it felt like the lines were from a script. And obviously they were but... i dunno it just didn't feel natural enough for me. It just felt a bit flat. It may be that its not my type of film, i'm sure others would enjoy it. I'm not being discouraging here, it is very well made. But i have to be honest about my opinion. I respect how you made it in such a short time, i think films should be made like this more often. Good stuff, keep it up.

Hey man, I always dig honesty. And of course, I appreciate that it's not for everyone (which film ever is)? It's one of my favourites though, but glad that you took the time to check it out dude.

Cheers.
