It's called "Tømt & I" and was put together for the Britfilms 24hour challenge in Nottingham.

seeing as we're pretty much the most land locked place in the country we decided to try and get the to the sea and back...we got lost but we found Skeggy eventually!

this is all shot, edited and produced in one day with only the costume and names and a little back story thought up before we hit the road.

let me know what you think cause we're sending it some festivals and to be honest i'm very proud of it.

all the best, dave (Tømt)

very nice photography, narration could have been recorded a little better but overall very nice! well done

[Tom]

Aha! Dave my good man. I have a copy of this movie already, and I have to say, it's good stuff indeed. All the guys involved in the making of this wonderful little short are very good film makers. Seeing this again - yeah, just backs up what I know about you guys.

Excellent little film, well shot, well made and interesting throughout. Nice work.

[Patty Dawes]

Nice one, I really enjoyed that.

What's all this rubbish about London being full of wankers though ;D

[Dave]

That was superb! Simple and unpretentious... great script and great camera work.

Made in 24 hours? Quality!

[davidlankester]

thanks for your comments guys. very welcome!

yeah we get away with the London dig since Dal's a born n bread Londoner

we're sending Tomt to a few festivals, so if anyone knows any gems I'd appreciate the heads up.

and tom since i consider you more than a local peer your kind comments are more than welcome. (I'm guessing you've heard about the lamps, well I'm sorting out an alternative venue hopefully with the metro for us all.)

Rushes Soho short film festival is taking place in April I believe and they are accepting entries from January. I'm gonna try and get a script made on my new camcorder myself for it once it arrives.

Nice short, Really enjoyed it! Fantastic compositions throughout and I loved the sound quality of the voiceover, it sounded almost like it was a transmission from a spaceship which i likey.

Great job.

[greggers]

I thought that was great.

[RydCook]

Just been able to watch it (had to ge the wmv pluggin)

Superb little short! reminds me of my hard working Polish cousin who now lives here in the UK earning money for his mother. May i ask what nationality they're meant to be in the film?

Very funny, great composition and i love how you did it in a day! Very inspired film-making! It is a film to be proud of. Good luck with the festivals, let us know how it does!

Beautifully shot film, i really enjoyed it.
Its fantastic that was made in 24 hours, I don't think you could have been any luckier with the weather, it gives a great representation of England.

Hope to see more of your films soon.

Really crisp picture and good images, funny but with an undercurrent of sadness. Very well done.

[salvador]

I liked this a lot. A really simple idea with some stunning visuals, love the phone call aesthetic. It really works. Excellent

[Tom]

You should see Dave and the lad's other work. They have some seriously good little movies in their cannon.
