Hey everybody,

I'm a long time board vet, big time comic fan, and an actor, writer, and stunt peformer. I've got a short film I think you'll enjoy. Why? 'Cos its violent. Check it out at:

I'm a film student, not that that makes my criticism more valid, just thought I'd throw it out there.

The stunt work was good, and I really really like the sound work for the vast majority of it.

I think there might be a longer quote from Camus (about why we must imagine sisyphus happy) that might of worked better, but it's been more than a few quarters since I read that piece.

Also I would have liked it to end with them still bloody as they repeat the ritual (they clean up in the last shot right?), or maybe even start bloody. This might have made it a little harder to make the cycle as concrete, but I think it would have kept an element of drudgery, that seemed a little missing with that element of rejuvination.

I don't know if you were looking for a critique, but that's mine. Nice work, if I shot a fight scene, I'd love it to look like that.
