Unzipped | Film School Application (ACCEPTED)

Absolutely beautiful! You're passion for the craft and the message really shines through in every scene. I cannot wait to see where you go next!

Man I LIKE that bathroom.

this is amazing

Love it! Give me a holler if you need music for upcoming projects!

Beautiful cinematography and a very good directing. Also the writing is high quality, straight to the point and very clear in picturing the subtext with a single scene: the sport's magazine cover on top of the other!
Great job from this guys, congrats! 👏

You really showed what an insightful storyteller you are. Well edited, the cinematography was vivid and it really served the narrative well. And i feel like this resonates with so many different people on such a universal level in the sense that we all hide certain things about ourselves because of fear/stigma and it can cause those feelings of isolation and keeping to yourself to exacerbate and hurt you in ways you are unaware of, thats why it’s important to be open. But yeah, idk if i completely missed the point😂but great film, well done👍

short but sweet thanks for posting

Yeah, you're gonna fit right in w/the rest of the Hollyweirdos if this is the topic material you want to cover.

this is terrible, omg what school is it? so I avoid it

What is the message?

Beautiful

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Powerful! Love it!!

The scene where he reads Vogue at night under the sheets with a torch reminds me of Stanley Tucci in the Devil wears Prada.

I absolutely love this! Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin, with their own choice of identity. The main character in this story is SO brave & I hope he/she/they were accepted with love. 🥰💖🏳️‍🌈🙌

Great job on the lighting composition, sound and editing.
I see you used a7iii, what lens did you use for the whole short?
How long have you used DaVinci resolve?
I know lighting is key.

I truly love this film! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and vision with your story. And a belated congratulations to you as well. Well deserved. Having watched this story unfold into something beautiful and more meaningful, I gathered that it's about self-acceptance and courage to follow your dreams/passions, disguised or not.

wow this is really good!

Good job!

damn phthalates

As a trans woman with my bachelors in film almost in the can and hoping to get my MFA one day this really put a smile on my face. Nice lighting, composition, and visual story telling. Well done :)

Wonderfully told!

Perfect. Genuinely perfect.

This was so good I’m so proud of the work you’ve done! Keep it up!! ❤❤

congrats! what camera and color grading did you use? the look like a well made holywood drama

He owned a sewing machine, i think its safe to say his parents knew...

weird.

This is incredible! The directing and storytelling was great, and the thing that stood out to me right away was the coloring. In such a short amount of time, there was so much said. Great job.

I'm a junior in high school, and I want to go to film school. I believe I can do everything that is needed for a good short film, just like this one. But the one thing that holds me back is ideas. How do you get past the writers block (in my case, just an idea block) and come up with good short stories? It's something I've always struggled with, and it's holding me back greatly.

Another question: what aspects of a college show that it is a good film school? I've been looking at colleges for the past year, and some seem better than others, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. As of now, the ones at the top of my list are the ones with more (and better) internships.

Thanks for reading, looking forward to your insight

can i get your email or what's app number please

This was really amazing

I got refused when I didn’t include dialogue. The guide said it was easy. Must be different in the UK

nah, not buying it.

From the introduction of the character to the final moment this film has it all. Truly inspired.

Yawn.

it does not looks like the the cinematography is done by a single guys, if you been to the real set that you know such light and camera movement took more than a dozen guy, and in the credit it does not even mention the sound department, who did the folly? who did sound effects? who did digestic sound? dude, i just thought you must got a really good help from money power, but, you got your film made.

How did you light the supermarket??

WOW

fantastic work👍👍

i loooooove the film! It amazed me just how much plot and meaning you can inject under 4mins! also, that house is awesome!!

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

Congrats! You really deserve to be accepted! I've watched a bunch of application short films and yours is definitely one of the most beautiful ones. Said a lot in very little time, impressive! I'll study screenplay writing in Germany but I do still somewhat struggle with shorts. Maybe I can get some tips/inspirations from your work 😄 Have fun studying! Which school did you choose?

Beautiful ❤

🥹 inspired

God never makes a mistake
This means that God created you as a man, and you do not have to change what you are, and whoever does that is sick

[SPOILER ALERT] Great movie, very meaningful. I loved the moment when he opens the door, showing that "he is out".

Beautiful.

Also I really want to know if the family accepts him or not

WOW very underrated

As a junior in high school about to apply to film school myself, I've watched hundreds of short film applications. But by far, your film has stood out the most. I was wondering, how did you manage to edit this down to two minutes while still retaining the essential aspects of the story? That must have been quite hard!
