It doesn't happen to me often, that I have got a big grin on my face for minutes, while at the same time feeling a cold shiver run along my spine. That is what this did to me. There's so much to like about this, that I don't know where to start. From acting to soundtrack, from story to editing, from overall atmosphere/ mood to the B-movie/ 1980s special effects. I love it all!
I also feel that splitting it into 14 parts was a wise choice, especially with the average time span of humans these days. It gives the JUJU Gum Conspiracy a narrative music video - in the best way possible - kind of vibe.
It's people like you and projects like these that give me the hope and inspiration to one day try my hands again on a feature film or perhaps web series. And it's lovely to see how well it works on a platform like Steemit.
Congratulations on this achievement and thank you very much! Merci Beaucoup!
I can't wait to see all other 13 parts :>)
Sorry for the slow reply, these comment sections are getting unwieldy :) I'm so happy to hear your comments, the first episode definitely has more of a music video vibe as the original format was more of an intro / credits type thing. I agree that episodic seems to make much more sense here we are all in a rush and there is so much to do it allows people to digest it one or a few at a time depending on their own tastes! I'll be excited to hear what you think as it progresses :)
Yes Vince my man! Thank you for your kind words.
b-movie and 1980's style is totally accurate to describe our inspirations.
We have a cut of the film, of course, that is without interruption in one big chunk of 134 minutes.
It is a lot to digest in one sitting and that wouldn't be appropriate at all for this platform.
When I suggested to Julia to release here we watched the movie one time to see were we can do the cuts of each episodes and we realized that a series was the way to go.
Glad you tune in and enjoy the ride...
