you could have made a film based on the a appendix: the disaster in the gladden fields. 😅
A great example of what a collective passion and effort can bring to life, even when big producers or companies with their monetary interests do not get involved.

‘*especially* when big producers or companies…do not get involved.’ Too often lately we’ve seen Hollywood deface culturally iconic IPs like Middle Earth, motivated by their greed or agenda. Films like this show a love for Tolkien’s source material that Hollywood cannot fake.

When you enjoy a fan-film more than a billion dollar amazon series..... The filming locations are epic. Really captured that Middle-Earth vibe. Well done.

Saw your film at the swiss youth filmfestival yesterday and I'm so glad it was in the programm. The commitment and heart you put into it shines through and it was so unexpected and refreshing inbetween the other projects. the best 25 minutes of the entire screening. Great job!!
The Narration at the beginning gave me Lotr Bfme vibes
Just started watching. The art at the beginning is exceptional.
The amount of passion involved in this creation is inspiring! Thank you for bringing your vision to light. Thanks to everyone involved! Great effort!
Stumbling on it now, after I rewached "The Horn of Gondor" and saw a recommendation by KZread. It looks a pretty decent short film, I'll certainly like and share. Good work, and I'm sure next ones will be even better :) Music is insanely good!

Wonderful! This has true LOTR vibes!!! Loved it!
First good things. Location scouting was perfect, great place to shoot. Music - well done, atmosphere of the original trilogy but somehow different, great piece. Costumes - you did what you could with your budget, looks Cool. You can see heart and love put in the work, but technicalities are pushing me away. Life sentence for DOP (and editor). Most of shots are shot like complete amateur. Golden ratio doesnt exist, not even mentioning Fibonacci, weird choices, like many shots are crooked, same scene with different light and i think it was shot in 16x9 ratio, coz i cant belive how many shots just cut half of forhead to show Little neck, it looks like it has been edited to cinemascope. Weird distortions in evening/night scenes, doesnt add on to atmosphere, more look like mistakes. Drone shots and super wide shots are the only that are good. And audio. I know sometimes you are on set, and mic guys won't hear background noise that destroys vocals, but not throughout whole movie. Voiceover was tool to Save it, but person directing actors in studio, didnt directed them well enough. Its emotionless and not good fit to video we see. Im holding fingers for you to become better and do more stuff, im sure you'll improve.
