Hey, I remember Chris Reddig, and I heard that about Burton calling him, something weird about how that got so hyped up. He worked on Lone Star, a Terri Templeton flick. Never actually met him, but have several friends that mentioned working with him on shoots in SF Bay Area. ... I downloaded ashtray on kazzza and it rocked, but you're right it seems a little like someone played with Reddig's work, BUT, they did a good job. I hope they show it again at festivals in SF -people were digging it.

I saw part of this film, couldn't make it through the whole thing. Student film??? you get an F.

I hear you, but "student quality" or not, it's brilliant - the grainy blown out nature, and the cheap 1.0 vfx, money can't buy that today. So the mystery was eating at me, maybe I've way too much time on my hands, but I've been doing some serious digging trying to find out about the creator, but there's precisely jack and #### about him. I met a film student from the Twin Falls area, he said that he had known the guy, Carl Reddig, but he'd been killed in a car accident in film school - kind of a strange story too - apparently, there was some foul play involved between him and a student AD (who was no doubt wanting to grab credit). Beat's me, but true-school in that this thing is the industry staple for bgftg, we mixed in extreme color washes and used at AVN in Vegas, AND I #### you not, Sasha Gray asked me what it was from? ... Naturally, I extended an offer to show her and of course, I was blown away when I realized the Steven she was with was actually Steven Soderberg, who thought that he recognized the piece. He mentioned something about a friend shooting in a laundry place in Twin Falls, I didn't get it at all, but I was digging Sasha ;o)
