I agree with the smaller teams. Less personality clashes and other differences to slow progress. The cinematography was beautiful in his movie.

very nice work!!!!!

Lol, I just watched their film. It was really good.

Who are you voting for Elena?

I wonder how many turtles were harmed in the making of this film...lol ;p

Haha How old are you Elena? You look young in your photo.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Cecil the Turtle was repatriated to Petco before the film was even finished getting cut. I actually had a friend who was a designated turtle wrangler for the day, so he would be run back to his temperature regulated, UV light rich tank between takes. The only problem was that the rest of the cast was jealous of the star treatment the turtle was getting!

Is the little boy the owner’s actual son? He’s really cute.

A bar owner and a filmmaker? Haha How cool.

khmersmily, rumor has it the DP was a vegan; Cecil the turtle left set in one piece and is now bragging about his star turn to all the less artsy turtles at Petco.  Observation of child labor laws, however, is a completely different story.

Everyone....I am adding recently-received pics to this post.

Nara, you’re funny.

Loverly, I could be age-secretive but I’lll blow my cover just for you I’m 31 years young, born in the year 1976

FAYE 17, I have not watched the videos yet...wanna wait for the traffic to die down : )

Hahaha! Sounds like an amazing turtle. Are you going to bring it to the awards ceremony? I think it has a chance for best actor.

Yea...man. We’re going to upgrade our two servers sometime…

I’ve been so busy planning this charity event that it’s consuming all my time and I can’t babysit our servers.

Elena, you should know that it’s not the streaming that’s given us problems, it’s the database intensive parts of our site like forums and blog.

I liked it...simple, good dialogue, and the music in the background was good!!! I just have a few questions though...[blushing face]… 1.Why “Miles Apart”? 2.Moral of the story? Sorry, if I missed it. By the way my nephew is such a cutey!!! lol

Hahahahah! I squealed when the turtle popped its head out.

I really liked this film. Good job you guys! I can’t believe there was a turtle wrangler?!

Hey, guys, with the server problems last night I couldn’t upload the photos. But I just did....quality over quantity. Enjoy, everyone : )

Woah big budget film!

Elena, thanks for choosing the photos that make us look old and cranky but still somewhat in possession of our faculties.  You’re a good editor!  Actually, Jim has aged really well.  You have no idea how long it took the make-up department to get the right blend of talcum powder and Wite-Out to frost his hair convincingly… As for all the turtle commentary, agreed: Cecil rocks.

The lil boy has to be cute...It runs in the family [wink]! I want a turtle by the way! lol

According to the department of labor, children under 15 can work in a family business. The thinking is that parents aren’t going to exploit their own children.  Obviously, this law was not written with Asians in mind.
