Tonight, well I guess technically yesterday Just Getting By was screaned at Ruta Maya. The turnout was surprising higher than I anticipated. Ruta Maya was freaking packed! I’m ecstatic to report that JGB was very well received by the audience.
I’ve been working on the project for a long freaking time, somewhere around 6 months. With all the time I’ve spent on editing I’ve beating the funny out of the episode. So I didn’t think it was as funny as it turned out to be. People laughed and enjoyed themselves so and that is what it’s all about. All the pain and suffering of long shoot days, having problems with actors, having to reshoot over 70% of the footage paid off. After filming Dodging Bullets I’m willing to do another episode.
Unfortunately, this was the last Short Ends screening. Andy Miller showed his first horror film which was very well done. Very fucked up in a kewl way. I got a copy of the DVD because I helped out with the audio. Sadly Andy’s not going to do another horror movie. Matthew Jasso did Who is Cesar Tampico. Which was also a very funny short film. It was also very different to Jasso usual stuff.
