@arnarfjodur, thanks for the info and the link.

The short is good, you should send it to some festivals.

Do you think you could ask your friend, outlining how was your postproduction process? It would be very interesting.

@andyharris For me, the mother is obsessed with the diseased brother and using emotional manipulation tries to reach him through the main character. This is an impossible situation for him, which he has to break out of in the end. Ultimately it is about standing up for yourself. But of course, stories and films are to be understood in different ways.

The film is actually based on a short story: "Disappearing into the World" by Icelandic author Ágúst Borgþór Sverrisson. The story has been translated and published in English by Comma press, who incidentally are screening the film and inviting the author to read in Manchester on the 24th of Jan: http://www.commapress.co.uk/

I'm sure everyone in Manchester is welcome to attend :)

@arnarfjodur I was totally drawn to the storyline. Lovely work. I like the beginning and ending scenes having same framing but quite different outcomes. Nice wide angle shots. Particularly I liked the bathroom scene. Thank you for sharing.

@stonebat I suppose it's understandable, when I post in a forum where a lot of discussion on patches goes on and I put "hacked Gh1" in the topic that many people are interested in such things. Probably the reason many people watched the film in the first place is because they have a similar camera and so they identified with the project in some way.

Of course I'm grateful for the people who develop the hacks and I do think a certain obsession with detail is needed to advance certain aspects. But the obsessive technical perfectionism is good for only that: Advancing technical capacity. If what you want to do is to tell stories with images then you need to disassociate yourself from that a bit.

For a filmmaker, dominating technology should have only one goal: To forget about technology.
