WICKID PISSA FILMS is having a special screening of their new docu-drama THE LAST DAYS OF CENTRAL and you are invited.

Please email me and I will send you the official evite. Here are the details of the event.

VENUE: Marquee (Formerly Grand Canal)
WHERE: 57 Canal St., Boston, MA
DATE: Thursday, January 13, 9:00 p.m.
PHONE: 617-523-1112

What would you do if your only best friend vanished in an instant?

THE LAST DAYS OF CENTRAL is an endearing portrait of two real-life best friends whose rebellious youth culture crisscrossed 21 years ago and - together - they instinctively documented their nonstop parade of comedy routines, hipster-cool pranks, experimental films, and one ill-fated attempt at getting noticed by Hollywood bigwigs.

This is the first film ever to meld fictional narration with compelling true-life sequences.

Last year, Wickid Pissa's short film CELL PHONES AND ACTION FIGURES was accepted to ifilm.com and The New England Film Festival and they also completed their first feature film GERM OF A NEW INSANITY.

Jett Evans · January 4th, 2005, 05:26 AM

but...i didnt laugh...you can do better then that...cmon now...personally, i would classify this thread as "spam"..............ok then...have a nice day...

I hope to see more "well done" things in the future...

Bryan Mitchell · January 4th, 2005, 08:39 AM

Jett Evans...

You're a jerk. I'd classify you as a troll.

Rhett Allen · January 4th, 2005, 12:30 PM

Man are you insane!? ... in a Galaxy far, far away... hahaha

Great song though, thanks for letting it play on.
So was number 2 just a little joke? I love obscure shorts like that. The first one was better but that was a really cool version of the Carol in the second one.

Thanks!

Jett Evans · January 4th, 2005, 02:24 PM

OK! SO! first off ill just tell you that i did vote for you, but not after seeing about 10 of the others, because its only fair.

Id have to say, that yours was the best one that i have sene so far. great job on it, i hope you win.

Some of the other submissions were very lame, and im sooooooo glad that you didnt put the fan moving...its now as overdone as chapelles/lil johns "yeah"...

The only really dire thing that i saw that shuold be changed, is that i think there should be a shot of what he wrote on the one he threw away, somethign signifing thats its over or somethign ya know?

All in all great job, yours is MUCH better then some of them i saw XD

Rhett Allen · January 4th, 2005, 03:53 PM

Man, am I an idiot! I had never even read anything about the contest, I just watched yours and voted, so I went back to watch some others and realized a few things.

1. The guys in your video are not the original song artists! I didn't know that, but it makes your video even cooler because of the work involved.
2. I watched a bunch of the other videos and have a new definition of the word "SUCK"! Man there are some crappy submissions! (if it weren't for the commercials, I would have watched them all)
3. I HATE iPod commercials! (I also hate iFilm for making me watch so many commercials) If I see that stupid HP+iPod one more time I'll scream!
4. You video really was good. Very good. You should be proud of your work.

I like it just the way it is. I like leaving my imagination to wonder what the note said. I know it (the message on the note) wasn't good, that's enough for me.

I was able to vote again, so I did, and I would encourage EVERYONE to run over and vote for you as well because if YOU don't win, it will be a dark day for everyone!

Arthur To · January 4th, 2005, 11:51 PM

yay! man, thanks a ton, you saw the first letter was "G" and later u see "ye" so i thot people would assume "goodbye" LOL but im actually glad that this accident left some people to ponder about it. although another appraoch was to show it more clearly,

thansk for the input and encouragement, i appreciate it alot!

Haha...i didnt knwo that there was going to be an i-pod commercial in front of your film, so im watching and im thinking "WOH! Its not yellowcard, but its not bad at all...oh...wait a minute..."

Any ways, i saw more, and i just HAD to same good job on raising the bar there.

Marc Sacco · January 5th, 2005, 08:23 PM

Rhett,
just a note... did you know you could just slide the play bar to the right and skip the annoying commercial? (i couldnt stand watching it more than once so i grabbed it and slid it and viola!)
hope that relieves some of the stress!!! ;}

anyway, Arthur.... good job on the video...good luck!

Even though you were obviously just screwing around with with a camera with some friends it still managed to turn out alright.

What did you use to film/edit it?

Andres Bant · January 6th, 2005, 08:06 PM

I've shot a 50 minute film recently. I was wondering if anybody would be willing to watch & critique it. I would probably have to send it through AOL instant messanger, as it's a quicktime file.

The reason I ask is because I'm going to work on a new one soon and I need help on improvements.

In return, I'll watch & critique your film or scripts.

If anyone wants to, please email!

thanks,
Andres

Glenn Chan · January 6th, 2005, 10:44 PM

You could send it through yousendit.com, which allows 1GB. The file expires after 7 days or 25 downloads, whichever comes first.

Peter Murphy · January 8th, 2005, 04:20 PM

I've posted this elsewhere before a long time ago, but since this is my first post here I figure I will post this project. Let me know what you think. It is the only video I have on that site right now, I will be updating it with more soon.
