Just got some more feedback from a film fan in New Jersey who had never seen "On the Fringe" before. Here are a few of his comments:
... a GREAT JOB. So much work! (Firemen..!?)
Two things set it immediately apart from many other no-budget films - the acting and the SOUND.
So many times, the filmmkaers forget how good the sound has to be. We have to hear what the actors are saying!
The acting was way above average. And the four principals were all different. Very important, They looked and talked different. I am an older guy (54 but feel younger) so I am never sure if I can connect with "youth angst" or whatever it is, but your screenplay appealed to all ages.
There is a scene that looks like Seamus impales himself on a fence? Or was that a dream perhaps? Very interesting. Was that the young sister who comes up to him? lots of imagery. Love the tower sequences and the crooked tree, of course. After I go thru the bonus material, I'll check in with you again.
Anyway, congrats Jeff. I love ON THE FRINGE and keep plugging away!!
Feedback like this is always a treat. The DVD is slowly making the rounds. Time will tell!
