From the Studio
In this character-driven suspense comedy short, filmmaker Dee Austin Robinson weaves a story about a dysfunctional relationship where a stronger bond seems to exist between the woman and her cat (Charley) than between the couple themselves.
Maya Kazan's "Lulu at the Ace Hotel" has just wrapped principal photography as one of the selected films for our collaboration with Killer Films and the Ace Hotel.
We are thrilled with the news that Loop Planes, our first collaboration with Killer Films, has made it to SXSW this year.
Killer is extremely excited to finally move into the preproduction phase of our project with Massify and the Ace Hotel. We've selected three films to produce from the final twelve.
Hello Readers/Writers! Please take a brief moment to review these brief notes and initial thoughts.
Recent Killer Production Team Notes
Men that Clean
Cool concept. The opening is very dialogue heavy and expository, but the video camera is used well. Would you use footage from within Isaac's camera?
I like the consistently light hearted tone and there are opportunities for poignant moments in the script. My only critique would be that the central characters could be more nuanced. There is room to develop their back stories, which would have made their personal discoveries more effective for me.

Tuesday
Solid work. Love the great musical interlude, really breaks up Tuesdays otherwise mundane existence. Well written script as well. Good job Reed!
—Leo Woodhead
INTERVENTION
You've effectively grappled with an interesting and complex subject in a creative way. Thanks for the submission.
—James Sehring
Till Death Do Us Part
This has some funny imagery but feels very much like a sketch to me. Nice effort though.
—James Sehring
Song of a Fifth Grade Samurai
Hey David,
Brilliant (shooting) script, and an original idea. I also like the pitch and your inspirations for the story.
The only issue for me is that it's too short! You could have made it longer and utilised more of a page count - i wanted to see more of Ronald and his world.
However, it's a great idea and well executed. Great work!
—Leo Woodhead
Looking Glass
COOL pitch video, really well written script AND a forthright synopsis full of useful exposition. You've taken full advantage of Massify's tools to create a very well developed pitch. nice work!
