My new short: "What needed to be said"

Well, it looked nice.

To be honest, I thought the acting was a bit rubbish. But better than what me and my friends can pull off anyways. But, since this is such a 'act-heavy' screenplay, the overall impact is lower than it should be.

OMG THATS HIS - THEY WERE - MARRIED!!!!

Okay, I too saw it coming, but still.

As for the directing, don't have anything to say about that. Pretty good, yeah.

That was the whining. You did a good job. Hurrah.

Had you read the script, or read the posts here?

Im just curious if you actualy guessed it, or knew it...

anyway, i must disagree about the acting, but each to his own... Also they aren't speaking in their native language

I read the script.

The acting wasn't horrible or something, it was quite ok, and got the point across... but it wasn't good enough to deliver the impact it could've delivered... you know?

I took me half an hour with my connection speed but I watched it all.
That has to be a good sign.

i guess i'll have to be Mr Unpopular and say i thought it was rather dull and the sound recording was awful.

still, better than a lot of my efforts so i commend you.
Right-click, save as ....
but then all I had was Video8 and two knackered betamax toploaders ...

Wow, I thought it was excellent. Well done. Thankfully I hadn't read the script beforehand so it was a surprise that they were married (or separated). Although I did get an inkling before it was made apparent.

I understand what other have said about the guy not looking like he was drunk. I thought he did at the beginning and end (and yeah, I thought his wobbly walk looked pretty convincing - I've been there many times myself). The part where it was hard to believe he was drunk was whilst he was talking to his wife. Although, you could look at it like this - he needed a lot of courage to face her (despite being drunk) and probably spent ages thinking about what he might say to her. Saying those things and with the finality of it all it probably is/was quite a sobering thing.
