Philip Bloom

Wow – I totally got drawn in by that!!!!

I was thinking that it was going to be a straightforward ‘twist in tale’ of more simple revenge, but that was much more intelligent and interesting – great!! I like the fact that the editing/shots and sparse venue worked well with the story, providing a showcase for the actors – a great piece!

Holy S#@% !! That was great writing toward the end. I just wish they used another cinematographer. Who does this person think they are with their subtle camera moves? Just kidding Mr. Bloom. You are the man. Pleas let us folks in NYC know when you cross the pond again. I guess you’re still in Hawaii.

First of all, great job. Love how subtle you play with the axes. Did you use a 35mm adapter at all times? Even at the ridershot around 04.10?

Hi! What lenses did you use? I really love the DOF in the film.

Wow, the writing was great, and the direction that you went with the simplicity of the shots, and the subtleness of the movement outside the frame was very appropriate. I loved everything about it visually. The only quarrel I have with it is the staging in a few parts. There were two parts where David would walk away from the priest as if he was storming off, but then he stopped the first time, and he sat down the second. It seemed a little awkward to me, but not to the point where it made it seem amateurish like staging problems do very often. I may be alone with this opinion, but I just thought I would share my views. And if you were DoP then it wasn’t even your responsibility. Anyway, great work, it was beautiful.
