I KNOW Alex has the footage shot to fix this though. I know he has MORE than enough, and I'm keping the faith.
ALEX! RE-EDIT THIS BEOTCH!

Personally, I am not a mockumentary fan. Like, Best IN Show, Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind...the format feels like a 5 minute skit on SNL that is dragged out.
So, the genere I am not a fan of.
It still needed to be edited some. I felt the ending was forced. Like I felt YOUR character should have been accused first, then a little more explaination by Scoop.
But he did it for 10K and in 9 days (or so his press kit says). It is marketable with some editing. It may do well on the film festival circit if the industry has a humor about itself. So marketing wise, the inside joke may help it sell. Or at least help win an audience award.
Color correction was bothering me too. I know it was supposed to loook raw, but everything was very red.
On a positive note, I loved most of the actors takes/spins on the industry characters, including yours. John Adams was great on the lawyer who was also a singer/songer writer. Even the non-artists are artists.
I agree with you on most points. The color correction and sound may have been due to the transfer from HD to digibeta. Digibeta is a pretty old format and so the film at least half or more of it's resolution and color depth and the sound mix sounded awful.
I have removed my full comments that I e-mailed over to Alex the next morning after the premiere and I apologize for posting them here, I jumped the gun a little too quickly and should have kept those private. My bad.
