I gotta say, the scenes involving the actual coke were just not genuine - need to clean those up, to get the viewer into it.

That said, good for you for actually shooting something. I know SO many "amateur" directors who have yet to direct anything; they just feel like one day they will be behind the real deal. /sigh

I thought so... I thought so.

Wow. I pretty much agree with everything that's been said so far. Tip for making a movie about something: If you obviously have no first-hand experience, at least do a little research about it before shooting.

Funny how all of the comments in the thread are directed at the authenticity of the actual mechanicics of cutting a line and snorting. Understandable, but funny none the less.

yeah i would have to agree... good shots and all but it seemed like a BIT more firsthand knowledge was needed... anyone who can handle a line that large would know how to chop it properly and probably wouldn't use their fingers to take it out of the bag, as it sticks like a mother****** and people get too much into a greedy/selfish mindset when doing cocaine to "waste" that much. And yeah some people like to do it off the mirror surface and watch their pupils' instant reaction. Maybe i'm being too picky, but you asked for feedback just some things that i would have kept in mind.

good shooting and all though, keep up the good work

btw if anyone is interested here is a music video i shot for the label Toes in the Sand records..the folks up there really liked it

working in the night club industry, I've been around a lot of people doing coke. Over the last 7 years, I can honestly say I've never seen a single one of them start drawing on their face or submerge themselves in water.

Nope. Coke usually makes people energetic and horny; not stupid and depressed.

haha, my thoughts exactly. I couldn't watch after that.

Could you maybe elaborate on what the intention of the film is? (maybe I should watch it all, but it was giving me a headache)
