The video is up, and the reviews are in! My four year old called it "cool" and "fun," while my wife said "that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be." You have to love her honesty.

Fun! I think I might actually recognize some of the scenery. One of those pioneer parks, I think, and maybe someplace up at the U of U? Unless you're BYU people, don't know much about Utah County.

Changed your concept a little from what I read before, but it works good. Haha, you totally wrote Mal in just to have a chance to wear your browncoat and run at the camera firing the assault rifle. :)

We filmed at Fort Bonaventura in Ogden, and ITT Tech in Murray.

And yeah, it's not the script I posted. My actress for River quit three days before filming. We recast the girl who was going to do Kaylee as River, and made a browncoat in 10 hours (no kidding). We finalized the story about an hour before we started shooting it.

Eep!

Well, I guess things never do go according to plan... It's great though that you all seemed to manage to adjust on the fly. Looks like it was fun, too.

Oh, yeah. We were walking around going "Once, just once, I want things to go according to the gorram plan!"

Great stuff! A lot of work went into this and you can tell.

Thanks for sharing. Mind if I post a link on some other sites?

I posted your film on this thread listing all the Firefly Fan Films that I know of:

Nice job.
My only observation is that this story could have been told without the Firefly characters.
Another minute or two of dialog could have defined new 'verse characters
as hunters, smugglers, ranchers, etc.

I'm curious to know if most folks prefer seeing re-imaginings of established characters,
or the introduction of new characters to the 'verse?
I'm sort of thrown off when "not-the-people-I-know" play characters I think of as certain actors.

Like I said, only an observation.
The most important thing is to put out what satisfies your artistic vision.

Thanks,
Mike

That's what wives are for.
