I'm presuming by now you know it's OK. I am able to watch it when I click on "Manifestation" (although it is spelled "Manifastation" on that site I think.)
I have kids breathing down my neck so shall have a leisurely look later. Have only watched a couple of minutes and I'm intrigued. Plus, your male character is a writer!! I'm going to have to mention you on my website.
(And, he has a copy of Writers On Writing beside him which is the origin of the pun in my blog's title - in case anyone cares haha)
Shall probably post again after my further viewing.

I loved all the butterflies - yours included (you don't look ridiculous!) and the song at the end was fantastic.
The mango scene was a bit weird, I agree... and the end bit... she's not really an actress, is she... lol.
Congrats - I would't know where to start in making a short!

Michaelie, you're very sweet. I felt utterly ridiculous sitting there pretending to read my own book, and I had to sit like that for over an hour while they filmed that scene. I'd be the worst extra on a movie set. It's so boring.
How stunning is that song at the end. Initially I wanted Jevetta Steele' singing 'I am calling you.' (from Bhagdad Cafe) but we couldn't secure permission to use it. So that final song is an original by a friend of the producer. Beautiful, isn't it?
Michaelie, this was my first attempt at being part of making a short film and I learned a lot, and would do things slightly differently next time round.

I finally got a chance to watch Manifestation. It's beautiful. The script is so lyrical and the film has an almost haunting atmosphere. I really love the scene where The Girlfriend pops her head through the window and asks the writer when he's going to be finished - it was a great depiction of the sometimes awkward collision of worlds.
The final song truly is fabulous and underscores the atmosphere. Well done to you guys. But what a shame it didn't make the deadline. But it sounds as though you will be making another film for Stinkwater 24...

Mum's Word
Not a bad effort for 24 hours. I like films that make you think. And I think the short film format has the luxury of being not complete. What I mean by that is that most feature films (well Hollywood ones anyway) feel the need to absolutely bash the point over the audience's head.
The line "sometimes she feels more real that my life" is great.
I agree with the others, the song at the end really makes it.
I've been involved in a couple of short films. Always learning Jo.
Mr M heard a saying that could easily be applied to any creative outlet.
The saying goes "A film is never finished, it is only ever abandoned".
Love & stuff

How cold must have the actress felt? Oh my goodness.
