Dear Dalia,

I saw the movie. You seem to be very serious about what you are doing. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how do you like to do that?

Hello all;

Please check a short film of mine, would love to hear your opinions =)
http://www.vimeo.com/5125332

Synopsis:
In a world of limited possibilites, Driven on a path of
uncertainty with an eerie sense of security, ignorant of where this
path might lead, not given the choice to express, He remains an
obedient follower. What if he's granted a choice?

Rn't they supposed to be three sharing everything, even while being shaded, specially that the smile was on?the three?faces and the sadness was only on one face!!

Hello Dalia,
Only because you mentioned that you "would love to hear your opinions" ... i have watched your film and concentrated almost till the last minute.
My question is, why did you decide to make the film in 4:30 minutes?? Wasn't it possible to make it in 30 seconds??

Only because you mentioned "would love to hear your opinions" .... i don't mean to be judgemental, but art survives on criticism.

Keep it up.

Nice abstract work Dalia. It's cheering to see such creativity. This reminded me of Iron Maiden's song "The Prisoner":
-----
Run, fight, to breathe, it's gonna be tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out

Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

I'm not a number I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
-----
These words were said by a man treated only as a number and wished for freedom. You might like to post your short on www.awn.com , it's a hub for shorts.

Best wishes,
