Over the last 2 weeks Episode one has gone through 3 screenings. The first screening begins showing the first 16 minute cut to my classmates/professor as my final project for the semester. As the movie finished, the hands rose up and was followed by a wave of critique. Most of the comments stated that the episode was too long and that some scenes weren't needed as they repeated certain beats.
I took this critique to heart, cutting the movie down to ten minutes. By doing this we have made a much tighter piece that flows so much smoother. When the new cut was shown again in my end of the semester review the piece received much praise from my professors saying that it was great that I listened to the comments of my classmates, and really cut the piece up. Also saying that the new cut is 100 times better. But we still wanted my feedback from a more general audience. So it was decided to show Episode 1 at the Sophomore Film Conservatory Screening this year.
Many thanks to those who came out to see our films. An even greater thanks to those who stuck it out though the night in that unbearably hot room. The Episode was screened to roughly 100 people that evening, and was met with great reviews from fellow peer's and colleagues.
Now that we have this new cut we'll be diving into the productions of the next couple episodes. writing for episode 2 begins this weekend. Expect more updates one episode 2 coming soon!
Best,
Luke Francy
