Incredible. Why can't these short films be shown in cinemas before the main feature, like a trailer? Puts big budget Hollywood to shame. Well done 👍👍👍👍

Why can't these short films be shown in cinemas before the main feature? Puts big budget Hollywood to shame. Hard to explain why someone needed to pay twenty bucks for a two hour formulaic blockbuster, when they enjoyed the five minute short more. (Besides, do people go to cinemas as much? More eyeballs here, likely.)

@dakupenndragon810 13 днів тому
Studios have deadlines they have to have things done by a specific time. UKpostsrs don't they make content on their own time. It's not like that in the real world. No disrespect to the artist they did a great job, and perhaps they do have the skills to work in a major studio. But again they probably took a lot longer on this than a studio would have. For a 4 minute scene like this would it would cost a hefty sum and the longer it takes to do the longer it costs.

I LOVE this series. The stories, the acting, the settings, the emotions evoked, and the sound and cinematography capturing it all so beautifully and subtly. I was immediately transfixed and transported into time and place. I want MORE. Each of these vignettes can stand on their own as a full-length film, but somehow through Macgregor’s magic he as hypnotized and taken us on a thousand sun journeys in a matter of minutes. So well done! Again, I want much more.
