It launched their careers, and it's a great film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-87722607654227645392009-01-08T16:47:00.000-07:002009-01-08T16:47:00.000-07:00This film impressed me i got really into it.This film impressed me i got really into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-35862242229165584612008-11-22T12:59:00.000-07:002008-11-22T12:59:00.000-07:00Interesting blog.

It was good enough that it landed him funding for the full-length feature.<BR/><BR/>This has happened a couple other times, but no others are coming to mind.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866532531312584126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-60622273169917756622008-05-29T21:48:00.000-06:002008-05-29T21:48:00.000-06:00Adam, I think converting a short story to feature ...Adam, I think converting a short story to feature length is pretty common (you can usually tell a short story film when it has fewer characters in a smaller amount of time). I don't mind short story film conversions to feature length at all.<BR/><BR/>But Cashback as a feature length sounds painful!<BR/><BR/>It makes me think of Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit. He's really know for the short films, and then they did Curse of the Ware Rabbit...which was kind of long in feature length, I felt.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.com
