More Critiques of "The Grave"

I submitted "The Grave" to the DC Shorts Film Festival (for the sole reason they give every entry feedback from judges about their movie). It did not get accepted, but they left me some good and some bad reviews. Here is what they said...

GOOD STUFF:

"The acting was great."

"Nice camerawork."

"Interesting ideas... good raw concepts."

BAD STUFF:

"Plot was extremely underdeveloped, lacking in any explanation or conclusion."

"The sound editing was not particularly good."

"Had so much potential. Very disappointed."

And someone actually wrote, "this movie cannot be Saved by the Bell"... Haha I think that one should go on the DVD cover.

Basically, they all seemed to think the plot was confusing or unexplained at the end. This is true and false. I could say they "didn't get the movie" or I can say I was lazy and left too much up to the audience to interpret. Instead, I will say that I would be honored to have this movie compared to Saved By The Bell.

Dingleberry: The Criterion Collection

The epic fairy tale "Dingleberry" and a special "Making of" documentary are now available to view online at dailymotion.com.

"Dingleberry" tells the story of Prince Engelbert, the man with the biggest wiener in all of Dingleberry. But when an evil witch places a spell on him, shrinking his giant penis down to the size of a baby's, an unlikely friendship with a talking tampon named String teaches him a valuable lesson.

The short film was made in 2006 for an editing class. The documentary was made in 2007 for a documentary class.
