Results of the short film.

So after completing filming on the short film with Miki Mizuno, she invited me to come along to the film festival which she had created it for. The original rough cut of the short film was about 15 min long, but do to the rules of the festival (each entry could only be five minutes) she had to substantially cut it down to create the final version. Although this is more or less normal for film production, it`s still sad to see scenes that you know were good and/or funny go, just because there`s no room for them. Such is how it goes, I guess.

Anyway, it was still fun to see, and did fairly well at the festival. (Making it into the top 5 out of 16 entries).

It was also funny because when they interviewed her on stage, they asked in Japanese: Who was the black dude? To which she ended up giving a 5 minute discourse as to how she knew me, my action background, and oddly enough, what I look like with my shirt off.

Needless to say it was pretty comical to be sitting in the audience listening to the whole thing.
