So I decided to shorten Island Dog Robber by another 2 minutes and 30 seconds. And guess what? The movie improved again without the extra weight of 2 minutes and 30 seconds holding it down. Now it comes in at a slim 17 minutes and 24 seconds.
Check it out again and tell me if you also like the new non-copyrighted music that I used in place of the previous songs I had in the movie (Phoenix’s “Love Like a Sunset Pt. 1,” Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill,” and Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “That’s the Way of the World”). The original music I used for this last and final cut was provided by Raycurt Johnson, the singer/violinist virtuoso. The Raycurt Johnson that will be starring as George Bridgetower in my next movie. Thanks again to you Raycurt for helping me out in a jam. I submitted both Olfactory Thriller and Island Dog Robber to two local film festivals today: D.C. Shorts Film Festival and D.C. Asian Pacific American Film Festival. Additionally, I entered Olfactory Thriller into the D.C. International Horror Film Festival. I hope I get one of them selected. Wish me luck!!!
