Short Film: What are some of my impressions? The short film "9" is our first true exposure to Acker's creative universe. The short and to the point style of the narrative pushes a focused scope of its plot, character development, special effects, and how he goes about directing. The plot unfolds with a sense of urgency, teleporting the audience in a post-apocalyptic world extremely different from the one we live in where mechanical beasts known as "Fabrication Machines" stay. Even through a small window of time, Acker easily pushes depth into the characters, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Even as the special effects are not Marvel Universe tier, they showcase Acker's readiness to invent a visually striking environment. The directorial style is illustrated through its to the point storytelling and a touching use of symbolism, setting the stage for the full-length feature. Full-Length Film: What are my impressions?

Hey blog. This past weekend we finished up our short film in the shadows Upon editing I realize a massive flaw within our film. Though our filming went great with Brayden and Sarah nailing their roles to a tee, I made a mistake. I filmed the entire film vertically, an absolute travesty. It was as if the film was supposed to be on a social media app you scroll by, obviously not proper for the formatting we intended. But its not the end of the world a we have a lot of time to re shoot. I'm not going to dwell on it however as again its just a small bump on a long road. Other than the actual formatting of the film being wrong the scenes themselves are very good and I am pleased with the outcome. We will just consider the first shots as a simple rough draft. I will talk to Brayden and Sarah about another filming opportunity. Again our schedules this year has with out a doubt has been the busiest we have ever been. With work and sport conflictions between all of us, someone is going to ...
