Online Test Screening

[JohnErle]

Hey Folks,

As some of you already know, I received a grant last year to fund the production of my first short film since I was in college many years ago.

We shot it in February and now I'm ready to host an online test screening, which I'm inviting everyone here to participate in.

I know this film probably isn't the kind of thing some of you would normally watch, but I'm trying to cast as wide a net as possible. You never know who might notice something that seems obvious once it's pointed out. And Chien, some French subtitles were added yesterday by a local French speaker, so I'd be curious to know if they make sense to you as a Parisian as opposed to an Acadian frenchie. I'm already going to tell my editor that the formatting needs work because subtitles shouldn't go all the way from left to right the way they sometimes do right now.

I've provided a link to a password-protected copy of the film below. Please don't share this link or password with anyone without asking me first.

And here's a survey I created for people to answer after they've watched the film. The movie is about 15 minutes, and the survey should only take 5-10 minutes, depending on how thorough you are. Getting people to fill out this survey might help my editor and I as we do a final polish on the edit.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks to anyone who's willing to help out.

Is there a deadline on this, John?

[JohnErle]

No firm deadline, but I'd say end of this weekend should give people plenty of time.

Some of the Fall festivals I have my eye on have deadlines in May, so the sooner the better.

Got it, will make it a priority. Looking forward to it!

I'll definitely be able to check it out sometime this week, most likely on either Wednesday or Thursday. Eager to see what you cooked up.

I suppose I should add a poster and logline so you have some idea what you're about to watch. If you're expecting John Wick-style action or giant sand worms you'll be disappointed.

Caregivers (drama)
A middle-aged woman struggles with work/life balance while caring for her elderly father who stubbornly refuses to go into a nursing home.



(The poster stubbornly refuses to embed, so you'll have to follow the link for now.)

Sure, I'll check it out sometime today.
