Micheal bay was a judge in the festival which is so surreal feeling. I can’t make it public to my friends till we sign the publicity papers but I am glad I can share the news with all of you! My best friend and I made it in 4 days with 400 dollars, we never expected it would win the laurels! Husband is currently playing COD.
Edit- He watched it!!! He was half asleep when he did but he did like it. Not exactly his taste but he appreciated the work we put in!
#butCOD #stillexcited #seriouslythoughwtf
TheCarolingian
Did it have helicopters, sunsets and explosions? Michael Bay likes that.
TheNervousGiraffe
You know what? Tell him. This is big for you and you want feedback and support from someone you love.
Skumbo
the fuck OP's husband?
LDSmithereens
Congratulations. His loss. ??
BikeKnight
Has he given a reason for not wanting to watch? Does he have a history of not watching movies or supporting your hobbies?
orangefirefly
He normally is very interested in things I do but he sees things in monetary values too, if I am not making much why do it is his mindset

Congrats! I hope your partner realizes the gravity of this achievement and his mistake of not appreciating you for it.

Congratulations!
orangefirefly
Thank you!!!! I still can’t fully believe it

You need a new husband. You got a worse then bad quality one.

Where can we watch it???
orangefirefly
I will update everyone once we put out the premier!! :)

Congratulations! The trailer was very interesting, I can't wait to see the film :D
PictureArchiver
You made a film with a small budget and won an award. You did very well. Put the Award on the mantle piece and when husband asks ‘what’s 1

this thing doing here’, you can tell him the story. If he doesn’t want to see the movie, you need to divorce him post haste. 2

And marry me. 3
KextV8
Did he support and encourage you to follow your goals tho? Not everyone has the same taste.
orangefirefly
He comes from a very different background of how to structure your life. Degree is a must and it’s hard for him to understand why I went a
orangefirefly
A different route, I did attend college but I dropped out bc I knew it wasn’t meant for me. I think once I make a better income he will
orangefirefly
Be more into it, other than our work lives which we don’t see eye to eye, we love pretty much the same things which we support each other in
WeekendWarriorMark
Maybe he needs a year like w/ the cat or your movie has not enough explosions?

I choose this woman’s husband’s wife

As a brother of an actor, it's hard to watch—regardless of skill.
bonodono1350
Sooo you’re soon to be single?
watchmeruboneout
She's a smoke show too. Think they'll be a long line.
orangefirefly
Hahaha maybe widowed

If it wasn't CoD I might say that's an overreaction

I know a guy who specializes in "accidents" and red eye relocations to Canada.

Check the insurance policy first!
TK421isAFK
Works for me. Makes a good plot for your (our) next movie, right?
Maens
You should seriously talk to him about this. This isn't cool, he should be celebrating your accomplishments with you.
bonodono1350
Well alright. I’ll get the lye and the shovel.

I make soap, and I've got a chainsaw and considerable butchery experience.

honestly though, my adhd boyfriend that hasn't finished a book in his life read my master thesis.

That's a funny way of saying "yes" at being single ?

Sounds like a sequel inspiration
ActionJohnnie
Good 2nd movie
MeniBothanzWasMyGrandFather
If he doesn't already know. Tell him how important it is for you that the love of you life appreciates your work.
sunkenroad62
That's really cool. I actually mean that! That is really cool. Congrats!
orangefirefly
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to share it with you all!
orxy
Just watched your trailer - perfect cat tax!
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
That’s...not good. I would absolutely rip him a new asshole. But congrats!
ChelVanin
Oof. I still cringe at myself for being too lazy to read my HS gf’s first short story. I could tell I really hurt her feelings. :’(
BananaForScaIe
None of my gfs have read my two books or seen my movie. Most recent preferred I read her screenplay... So that's something I guess.
kingkongkeom
Got a link?
BananaForScaIe
Not really a fan of sharing name here ;)
kingkongkeom
Understandable, just wanted to give you the opportunity to tell them that even strangers on the internet want to read & watch your stuff, as
kingkongkeom
I am sure you are good at what you do if you wrote two books & made a movie...or at least following your passion, which is great in itself!
NickRivieraMD
To be fair, it was high school so it prolly sucked pretty bad.
ChelVanin
Yeah, well she came to my football games and we won about two games a year.
NickRivieraMD
Oh yeah, I'm not saying you were right. I'm just sayin, maybe it was worth it to be wrong.
imavakay
Sure, but having someone take the time and look at what you’ve made shows that they believe in what you’re capable of. It fuels improvement.
NickRivieraMD
I'm not saying he shouldn't have read it. I was just kidding that maybe there was a silver lining to the choice he cringes over..
orangefirefly
Ohh yah, this ones married to me though so he’s going to cringe reallll hard down the line haha
ilhares
Imagine the look on his face when you start hanging out with Brad Pitt.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Is he generally this shitty and unsupportive or is this an anomaly?
maststick
I read the dissertation of every girlfriend I’ve had since college. They were often boring but they were important to them
LimpMufasaWasABetterFather
No weight of opinion and only full support. I also sleep with your husband.
orangefirefly
I mean he is very handsome I can’t blame you
LessThanLess
What a fucking douche
Asurop
I thought that he hasn’t watched it because confidentiality or something. After reading the comments, I’d say that he’s uninterested :/
Asurop
But congratulations!!! Hope to see a public announcement soon. Here’s for a successful filming career
orangefirefly
Thank you! Even if that is the case I know he is proud of me. I know I am of him :)
hezroncarverofgravenimages
Sauce for your film?
orangefirefly
I will post sauce soon! Here is the trailer https://youtu.be/_PDkSbovYQ4 this is the first draft we did a year ago but it changed a lot :)

My wife was in (several) Hallmark Xmas movies over the last few years and we held viewing parties! Not cool he'd rather play COD...

That’s so sweet!

It looks interesting. What is the premise?
Blightlance
Congratulations! Will most definitely watch!
hezroncarverofgravenimages
Noir, tres cool... keep posting sauce.
NickRivieraMD
Don't be mad but that's definitely not noir. Maybe influenced by French New Wave?
hezroncarverofgravenimages
But it has a cat, so it must be good.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Imgur is def the right crowd for that.
NickRivieraMD
obviously
WanderSoul
What a great trailer! Captivating! Look forward to the public release. +1 for cat. Congrats on the win! Hope your husband watches, too.

When you say it cost you $400, are you including the cost of the camera and lens?
orangefirefly
We rented everything at a big discount which was amazing and she got the editing software from a friend which was a huge save :)

Well, shit, it looks amazing, well done.

Thank you!!! Really excited to brag the world of how awesome my best friend is :)

Seriously, please post the link to watch when you can, thank you
orangefirefly
I will I promise! The premier date is almost set
spiceegiirl
Celebrate with your friend!!! You're awesome
orangefirefly
We will!! Unfortunately I live in Mexico and she in NY so we will have to wait till I go back next :)

Srsly, when my wife pours her creativity into a project I'm there supporting the shit outta it and she does the same for me. I've been in 1

relationships where we were mainly centered on our own needs and I'm never going back to that. No fucking way. 2
fullmonte8787
I couldn’t imagine not watching something my wife made. I’m sure he loves you, but that’s lame
GondwanaCraton
You'd happily watch a movie of your wife running a train of 10 men? Some men might, but I think they'd be in the minority.
ComcastLover
No no no. They would be running the train on her, get it now?
confanity
Why be sure? Unless he has an issue like depression, it means he's being purposefully dismissive of something OP clearly cares a lot about.
BatLadyRielle
Same. My husband is my biggest hype person and I do the same for him. When he’s passionate about something it is so hot.
thatscool22
I don’t care what I’m doing, if my wife wants to show me her art, I drop everything to see it. She’s a good artist too, so I don’t have to
thatscool22
Lie to say it’s really good. Because that’s what spouses should do!!
dedpaen
JK Rowling had a husband who divorced her. You keep that in mind and keep making your art.
LessThanLess
So? What's the point or argument here?
Qpnao
Is that the abusive bastard or someone else?
thisislwiay
That husband is gay now
ebonyfaery
JK Rowling is DEFINITELY a slightly unhinged asshole though.
BananaForScaIe
Now. Who knows if she was then. Fame and riches do fucked up things to people.
Xen300
Give me a direct quote of anything she's said that's even remotely unreasonable.
ebonyfaery
Oh here we go. Give me an hour I'll type up twenty
Xen300
This is all such nonsense. The quote Fatbird gave me was a perfectly accurate statement. To call her an "unhinged asshole" is insane.
ebonyfaery
Nope. She's getting that way. It's worse and worse every time someone unleashes the woman near twitter.
ebonyfaery
I stand by what I said and if you go by the votes so do others.

any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth,"
omox
'all men who wish to'.. might be 0 or thousands. We dont know. Missing context maybe, but from that quote: what was wrong? There are idiots.
Qpnao
To all the assholes responding that this is correct, most countries have not had any law on their books about this for decades
Xen300
That *is* the simple truth. It's a baldly factual statement.
tegfdd77
I agree with that. There are straight men who enjoy crossdressing and if they’re unethical they may like to go into women’s spaces for kicks
HatchingDreams
Congrats! Going to continue with film making? Is this going to get you bigger contracts/opportunities/etc? Or a hobby you wanted to try out?
orangefirefly
Thank you! It was a dream of me and my best friend to write and create a film so we just dove in. We are planning our next one soon!
thatscool22
I’m now following you OP, please follow through!
orangefirefly
Hopefully we can have a bigger budget next time and we don’t do all the jobs ourselves haha. I slept for days after we finished
dasklaus
I've been production assistant and set runner for indie short films, can relate. No sleep at all.
HatchingDreams
Sweet :), when you can share it, if you remember, I'd love to watch it if there'll be a link or if I can buy it somewhere, etc.
orangefirefly
Thank you so much! https://youtu.be/_PDkSbovYQ4 here is the first trailer we did but it has changed a lot from editing I will let you know
WeekendWarriorMark
OMG you call that mild nudity. You can see the whole pussy. No clothes at all.
orangefirefly
When the real one comes out!
HatchingDreams
Was that an amateur trailer? Great choice of music for suspense! I can see why you won :)
HatchingDreams
Is the movie out yet? :D
