My submission to DVC 12. Took me six damn runs of this competition to produce a film after "That Wouldn't Happen", and I'm sorta-kinda-almost-but-not-really proud of this one for a change. The end product, for interested parties, was indeed discussed(ing?).
Two Guys in the Woods by a River

The directorial work of one Michael Fossenkemper, I did have a role in Two Guys, so it's listed here with the rest of the stuff I've done. We entered this as a team in DVC 7, and did rather well if I may say so myself. And I may.
The reality of a setting December sun dictated that there wouldn't be time to set up all of the shots originally planned, and not much of the river in the title is ever seen. Keep an eye out once the characters reach the woods and you might see just a bit of it.
Feel free to browse the DVI thread covering the film's production, and don't miss out on all the behind the scenes material we shot.

My second DV Challenge entry. It's confusing. There's a guy living in a little wooden shack on the moon. That's the best I can explain. Like the others, there was chit. Some chat, too. Fifty-fifty, really.
Music graciously provided by Aamu. He does good stuff, and I'm eternally grateful that he allowed me to attach it to my ridiculous idea.

This is from way back in March of 2006, for the fifth DVC. The first time I'd entered the contest and actually produced a film, it was also--surprise, surprise--my first finished movie. I'd never gone through the whole thing, script to set to screen, before I did this, and the results are predictable.
It's horrendous. Don't watch it.
