So it's been awhile since this was shot (last October to be precise), but finally, here it is : my new short movie! It's premiering tonight at a theater in Montreal, but I wanted to give you guys a look at it first and gather some comments.
Basically, it's an hommage to French playwright Eugene Ionesco, his obsession and fear of death and one of his play in particular : Exit the King. It was first written as a 5-part webseries, but when I failed to find funding for it, I decided to use the money I had just won in a game show and make this short instead!
Enjoy and, if you see some errors in the subtitles, please warn me. I'm about to send the movie to festivals and I want it to be PERFECT (or as perfect as it can be :P). Constructive criticism is also very welcomed!

I loved it! Great comedy!
Holy shit it's been a while since I've seen some decent live action that was true in its comedy, and this coming from a smaller budget!
The whole "twist" of the viewer discovering what's going on is executed perfectly. I can imagine you getting a great score on wherever you're sending this into.
I don't know if you already submitted it, but I wouldn't worry about the subtitles. Even though there might be one or two part where you could've used a different translation, I doubt it'll make a difference, in fact it's probably better this way.
But then again I'm not familiar with Canadian french, so you might as well just ignore that.
Again; absolutely loved it, and great for a second viewing.
I'd love to see more of this!
Hell, why not submit it on Newgrounds! Seeing as we got a video portal now!
I was thinking about it, but it has absolutely NO animation, so I don't think it would be well received :P
I'll ask Tom about it to see what he thinks!

This certainly is a great piece of work. In the beginning it all seemed a bit weird and hard to follow, but the ending really cleared everything up. How a character dies once the curtain is closed, is really an inspiring motto.
I have to say, I was kind of confused with how terrible the acting was in the beginning, but it all worked out for the best.
Great job.
The confusion is part of the experience! ;)
Thanks for the comment!

(bah, comment, cut off?) ... This was a poignant reminder of all the things I loved about telling stories or untelling stories on stage.
Lovely work, and good luck!

Bravo, indeed. I have a lost love for a lot of what I thought theater was ... or what it was taught to me in college.
