Film Noir

Hi guys,

This is a short film that I wrote and directed a while back. It's called "Rita" and pays homage to film noir classics like Double Indemnity.

Let me know what you guys think! I plan on submitting it to some festivals.

Best,

Very enjoyable, and well done!
Great lighting & very moody.
Shame the pick-up in the street was a modern one, or were you going for a mix of eras?

Great work, man! I loved the whole feel to it, the lighting worked great!

thanks a bunch! the film was done for a video technology class back in april 2009 and was shot on HD as opposed to the regular 16mm or 35mm used for classic film noir. the low key lighting scheme was all thanks to the equipment the UC Santa Barbara film department had available. the filim turned out better than i thought it would considering we only had 1 week of pre-production!
