Who knew such a small project could run into so many problems! I shot this project over a year ago with an extremely talented crew, but post was plagued with technical issues.
That being said, I'm very open about "When Harry Met Sally" being one of my favorite films of all time,* so when the holiday season rolled around I knew it was time to push up my sleeves and get this thing finished.
I'm happy to say after a number of corrupted files, countless failed renders, switching NLE's (and eventually back again), improvised workarounds/workflows, and just general life getting in the way, it's finally done! (A lot of work for something that boils down to three cuts!)
I know it's not perfect. I wanted to do a lot more with the graphics and sound design, but given all the hurdles I'm proud of it.
Special shout-outs to our cinematographer and actor (Selena Webb & Bridget Murray respectively). Their work is on full display, and wow did they deliver!
If you've made it this far, I hope you liked the piece. Now go watch the original film, it's very worth it.

Only a week left! It was awesome just getting accepted to LiftOff Melbourne, but to be in contention for the Audience Award is something else entirely.
Edit: very late update, but we won! Little Bird is no longer streaming, but will be in the future. Thanks for coming along on a wild ride!
