A MOVIE MADE BY MY FRIEND--WORTH A WATCH!!!

Hello all!


My short film "Abingdon" from 2007 was just selected as Film of the Day on an Australian online film site:

http://www.portablefilmfestival.com/


It's 8 minutes long and free to watch. Please take a look! I would love to hear your reactions.


"Abingdon" was essentially a 48 hour film -- we set out to burn some leftover 35mm stock (short ends from
"The Good Shepherd") with no real plan and no script, and shot it all in a little over a day. A lot of people worked really
hard to put something fun and spontaneous together, and this is the result.



Already "Abingdon" has screened in a dozen film festivals, it was nominated for an Akira Kurosawa Memorial Award
(along with only 20 other shorts), and I recently received an inexplicable and random myspace message from someone
who had seen the movie in a New Mexico film class and wanted the ending explained...


Thank you to everyone who put their time and effort into making this project. Here is a chance to see and support
it online.


Best,
Lucas
