Thanks! how did you come up with your screen name loll

My man...I don't know what to put hahaha help me out here! 

Sorry for the late reply.

I suppose a title like I described would be a bit harder than I thought I had ideas at the time I made that post and then ended up forgetting them. I'd say the current one works well, but it wouldn't hurt to add "Please Vote" to the beginning of it.

Yeah this title reads like the subject in one of those Change.com emails
If you can create an awesome inspirational video, you can throw a few words together for an inspirational title

I have neither fb nor vimeo, so no vote, but for what it's worth you're video was ******* brilliant
i got the chills, srs
the voice actor was distracting to me in a bad way, at first, but the flip in the middle was sickk and very well executed


TL;DR
- Change the title on this thread, to get dem NT votes
- get this on reddit, and win by a landslide

LOL ok, i won't change it anymore. I promise. 

No problem on the no vote thing...what you said means MUCH MORE. I can't assume what the 7 asterisks were, but I hope it is what I think it is lol 

I have no idea how Reddit works and umm... is this "reddit worthy" lol

 

[themovieguy]

We're now tied for 3rd!

C'mon NT, help this man get one step closer to his dreams.

 

[jbc908]

@ksteezy gotta tag him in here if he aint vote already, im still on the road driving but let's try to keep this thread top of the general page

 

[themovieguy]

C'mon NT, help this man get one step closer to his dreams.

I got some good news! 

I just got an email from the contest saying "congratulations on getting to the top 3" if you STAY in the top 3, the judges will then choose from those 3 to determine the winner. But 4th is just 1-2 votes away, so any help to separate will be GREAT. thanks guys!

 

[jbc908]

Change the title fam, something like help me win or something, make it interesting so people come in and vote for you

I feel like it only pushes people away? Don't you think so? I'm afraid to push people away... 

As much as I believe in my short film, I also don't want people to get annoyed >.<

 

[jbc908]

True, but sometimes you gotta make people to come in your thread

That's dope Congrats on cracking the top 3 by the way.

As for whether or not it would push people away, that's a mixed bag. You would definitely get some people like me who see "Please Vote For Me" and enter just to do so as long as a Facebook isn't required, but you'd also get people who would scroll by it. But maybe they'd do that anyway.

So who knows

What are your guys' opinion on thumbnail? does it make people want to watch? (at least to you)

 

[jbc908]

If anyone owns a website and would like to write a review, please let me know! 

So far we have 3 great ones from different websites. 

"In "Listen", Joshua Ortiz is again reminding us of his potential as a potent Film Maker. Shot using only an SLR Camera, he has produced a thought provoking piece, with a lot of heart, a great twist, and an authentic message. One to watch." - James MacColl of Ferguson Creative fergusoncreative.co.uk

"The cinematography and overall production value is fantastic... The beginning almost looked like it could have been from a Nike commercial - really nice footage. The edit, sound, titles, and color were also spot on." - Noam Kroll of noamkroll.com

"You should listen to this young filmmaker. He really did capture the hope and aspiration of a dreamer. Great cinematography, great acting, the voice alone is really worthy of listening to, flawless editing and directing. Watch out for this young man, Josh Ortiz, this is only the beginning."
