    Dinner for few was accepted at the 37th DRAMA FILM FESTIVAL. This festival takes place in Greece is it is one of the 15 best European short film festivals. Until recently it only accepted 35mm films but it now also accepts DCP so Dinner For Few was able to compete. The nice news came yesterday.

    Yes this is the one. I submitted Human Nature to them a few years ago at their DIGI section and received a honorary distinction.

    I'm not sure how it works - do each of the individual "Likes" count as well?
    Just in case, my Wife and I went through and liked everything in there, even the Greek stuff that we didn't understand! LOL

    Congrats on the many, many outstanding rewards and support that has been gathering around this highly anticipated (for me and others) gritty, dark film! I am eager (but patient :) ) to see it!


    Also, I cannot help myself - so I must comment: Your Wife is absolutely GORGEOUS! Man, you are a lucky fellow! You two take a great picture together! ;)

    the best way to view the trailer is the youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3dD_6j21a8
    I recommend anyone to see it there since I like to get the views up so the film gains publicity. Also I do not think the likes on the individual posts count, what you might need to do is to like the https://www.facebook.com/DinnerForFew page ( if you have not done that yet )
    I must point out that STIGES and CURTACINEMA are huge festivals that it very hard to get in and I was very honnored to make it to the list not to say to receive an award!!!!
    I will let wife knows!

    Excellent, I really like the "look".  It reminds me of "The Triplets of Belleville", a favorite of mine (7.8 @ IMDB).  You can see the trailer here (the "look" I'm talking about starts at ~0:45):

    I have been away for too long since I now realize you can't embed youtube videos anymore in these forums. If there is still a way please someone let me know how.

    Great work ! Why am I not surprised to see Eva Vomhof & Danas Anis on the team ?  So very talented as I'm sure the rest of the crew are. Congratulations to all.

    Although your production involves software other than Carrara you may wish to visit " CarraraTors " started by Carrara Animation enthusiasts - There you can embed video on the forum.yes

    On its website, videos such as yours, get featured in the Cinemas cool

    All modeling, layout, lighting,  texuring and rendering was done in Carrara 8. The animation was imported with the mdd importer from messiah. Some of the dynamics were done in carrara, some in messiah and some in Blender.
