The DVXuser forums are a pretty popular place for indie film makers, and they regularly hold “Fests” where members submit short films of a particular genre, and are voted on. Recently, I participated in the latest of these, the DVXuser WestFest. The film I worked on was a very short, short, only about 4 minutes, but the scene was well conceived and shot. Since the whole thing revolves around these 3 bank-robbers in a…wait for it…standoff, I decided to choose an small ensemble to match, relying solely on acoustic guitar, shaker, and whistling. The title cue can be heard on the music player. I’m definitely looking forward to participating in more of these “Fests” in the future.
