Thanks glengarry and foxdraw. I'm glad you enjoyed the film.
Foxdraw, I like to rehearse and let the actors improv a bit, then we keep what works best. I'm not a stickler on it being word for word; I just want it to feel like the actors are really saying what they're saying and not reciting.
As for what's next, well, I've been busy directing a play, which is now running at my university and getting good responses. (I was working on the play and this film simultaneously.) Then I'm graduating and moving to Austin, Texas and trying to get involved in theater and film there as quickly as possible. I plan to remain at the independent level, with the idea of making a feature film in the next two or three years. Until then, just building up my abilities with theater and short films.

I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but I wanted to be sure and reciprocate for the time you took to read and comment on my work. First of all, let me say that this is immediately better than anything I've done because you made it! This isn't a script, it's a movie and congrats on putting together a coherent piece of work with some charm and humor added in for good measure. I think the changes you incorporated in the shooting improved the work. Having William's monologue broken up by Petra's interjections helped a lot with the pacing and her final rejection and lesson were worded effectively. Good call on passing up the hand dryer bit--it's funny, but you don't have a lot of time to establish that this really is the devil and having him clean himself supernaturally works. You took a premise which is, quite frankly, pretty well played out and made an effective short work. I look forward to watching your progress after seeing promise in this short.
