Thank you Alter for screening our film and to everyone who has come to check it out. I was really lucky to work with the most incredible cast and crew and so glad our work finally gets to be seen! Feel free to ask any questions and I’ll be around to answer them over the next few days! 🌙🔥
how did you guys manage the fire effects? it feels very genuine, did y’all actually get to burn a church? 🤟 really stunning work!
@Em_Coltrane So this was our graduation project at the National Film and Television School. The school has a special effects course and the students work as an in house special effects company. (They are all credited in the about box if you want to see more of their work.) They actually rebuilt the church in 3D and then on the day we did multiple lighting set ups on the church to make it look like the fire flickering. And then they added in fire on top.
We also had a mixture of real fire and smoke when we did the pure scene.
I always wanted to do big special effects and this was my first time! We planned out the scenes with the fire early on in the process with storyboards too.
(1of2) Great Movie! Unfortunately I didn’t understand what role the Women Dressed In Black have in the film (or had in reality). I ask: were they “rebel women” or were they functional to the witch hunt? That is: were they “Rebels against the System” or did they have the task of completely destroying what remained of the burned women? (another similar question follows) (2of2) Does Evelyn (who joins the Women Dressed In Black) enter the <> of the Rebel Women or does she finally accept to be part of the System against the “Witches” by burning what remains of them? The loosening of the hair and the look seem to indicate “Rebellion”.. BUT I’M NOT SURE because I didn’t understand the role of the Women in Black. And again: whose House is it burned at the end? Thanks for the attention.
Repent to Jesus Christ “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Romans 12:12 NIV
U
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ imagine being so much of a demented monstrosity you copy and paste this literally everywhere
😵💫 WOW!!! That chicks face is the only horror story I see…
24+ minutes of that would scare the crap out of anyone!
Brilliant Bella Ramsey performance. And a equally powerful short film.
Bella playing the gays rn
I’m trying to figure out how that was supposed to be good.
What kind of ending was that?
Maybe if this was the first part of three.
This sorely lacked substance.
Supreme! Absolutely Supreme!
Why wasn’t Evelyn burnt at the stake for her sin?
💯
Bella’s subtle expressions hit so hard emotionally, an absolute masterclass of acting.
LINDAAAA
Amazing
