[REPRODUCTION] Award Winning Student Film at DVinfo.net

Hey guys!

Last August I finished making one of my first shorts ever and it has done pretty well for me. Made as a student project, REPRODUCTION was intended to be a culmination of my journey through academia but turned out to be so much more. Anyway, I'll let the synopsis do the talking:

The New Republic of Alberta flourishes after separating from Canada during the recession in 2010 but things take a dark turn when the government begins reintroducing eugenics policies from Albertaʼs past. Nelly (Gina Phillips) is a widow who lost her daughter in a tragic car accident, and has to resort to illegal means to circumvent D-FARRʼs screening process because of her rare genetic disorder. Garret (Mark Robson) is a crooked D-FARR employee that accepts bribes to pass applicants through a parent licensing test that he doesnʼt believe in.

And here's the film. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Alex,

Very well done, very provocative material and well acted IMO.

A glide cam would have been nice for the walking shots but I suspect the budget wouldn't stretch to that!

I liked it.
