If anyone happens to be at Sundance this year, keep an eye out for "Cry for Help", a short film I shot on the DVX100a and Mini35 last summer. It's a funny little film. I think it's programmed about 8 times during the run of the festival.

Who directed?

I won't be there, but congrats!

Any production stills you can share, Chas?

Congrats Charles. That's awesome.

Micheal, re: director: Nicholas McCarthy.

Thanks guys. The short was directed by Nicholas McCarthy, and stars Sam Lloyd (who plays Ted the Lawyer on "Scrubs").

Unlike many of the shorts I've seen on the web, there isn't a fancy website for the film with lots of production stills, notes and streaming video of behind-the-scenes footage...! I've got a few shots here (http://homepage.mac.com/chupap/Film/PhotoAlbum36.html) here which I put up for those interested in the Mini35/DVX rig.

Well done. You're very brave to have shot in your own home.

just viewd your short film online-
okay- thats funny!
Pretty good stuff- thanks Charles.

thanks Jeff.

Mark, I hear you. I started a complete renovation of the house a few months later, so I knew there wasn't much that could be done to the house at that point. After the renovation is done, it will take a full location fee to get me to host another shoot, and even then very reluctantly!
