Ha-Ha !!! I just won my first short film competition !!! TBF though I think I was the only entrant, but that is irrelevant, because there is a big, shiny trophy proving we won. The competition was for Scouts, and all members of the Scouting movement were eligible to enter. The movie was shown at a scout camp, meaning several dozen people got to watch it.

Basically, the movie (directed, edited and featuring yours truly) a homage to '70s and '80s exploitation films, a genre I am very fond of. I was kinda worried it wouldn't be allowed though, because there are a few inappropriate moments in it (for example, I get stabbed in the gut causing blood to spray everywhere. The footage is then repeated about 5 times).

In any case, that made my day.

Well you could actually, but I dunno if my friends would let me post it.

That plus I wear rather tight leather pants for the duration of the film, which might put some people off :a11:
:rofl: to the leather pants...
Well, if you checked with your friends and they said okay, I'm sure folks here would like to see your first (short) film.

Not my first actually, it's been a hobby of mine for a long time (6 years maybe?)

I think my first short film was called Dogs. I basically improved the whole thing, pretending my dogs were going to try and eat me.
