The Way That I Take

Well, here it is - my 'proof of concept' short! I'm so incredibly proud of the story the team was able to create and capture... and overwhelmed and excited that it is but the first step towards something much bigger... "When a simple mistake turns into a fatal error, a burned out nurse becomes trapped by the system, dangerous expectations, and the corrosive lies we tell to survive."

    When Obi-Wan brings Luke to his home, the audience literally gets more exposition in 90 seconds than the entire sequel trilogy offers in its runtime and in a format that doesn't even break the internal logic of the scene and the characters and actually makes us /care/ about those characters and how they relate to the overarching plot of the film.

    I would be upset if they replaced the scene where Bilbo finds the ring. I prefer the original version so much more because its creepy. It's dark, grey, Bilbo looks more how I imagined him in the book, and Gollum's screams sound more disturbing. Gollum in Fellowship I'd argue is creepier and less cute than his design in TwoTowers/ROTK/Hobbit. Just my opinion.
