Minding Rocco (a short film) PLEASE WATCH

Hi everyone

This morning I came across an interesting short film called Minding Rocco by Roy's Boys. You can watch this film on their website, here is the link below.

http://www.roysboys.co.uk/

once on the site, click on films and you'll find it listed at the bottom.

what I really enjoy about this film is that the audience enter the lives of the main characters some time into their relationship, weeks, months maybe even years and throughout the whole film the audience is trying to understand and work out the relationship between the leading male actor and the clown, and even at the end of the film where everything is revealed, the audience is still left trying to work out what happened before we first meet these characters.

I also liked the use of distorted music that created alot of the atmosphere and tension for this film.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH. I THINK YOU'LL FIND THIS RATHER INTERESTING.

  1. I have tried many times to view this film, and on both my laptops it comes up with "the page can not be found" when i click on the link to play the movie. I cant find it on youtube either, can you save a copy on to your laptop or memory stick so I can in turn watch it. Thank you.

  2. I've managed to get onto the website and get as far as the pressing play but when i did press play it went crazy!!!! it would be good to watch it all together at uni seeing as it is only 10 mins long!!! then we can all discuss it!!!

    I am the director of Minding Rocco. Cheers for your comments about the film. I'm just checking the website to see what the problems are.

  4. Hi
    Due to the film being bought by Shorts International we had to take it off the website. It is now available on Itunes, or alternatively, it can be seen on the Sky ShortsTV channel each month. If you get time, we would love for you to post your review to the imdb website.
    Thanks for your interest

  5. Hi Neil
    Thank you for your updates. I'd be happy to write a little something for you. I'd like to see the film again to refresh my memory before I write something, hopefully I'll catch it on sky as I cannot download the film from Itunes. I'll do it as soon as I can. I'll also pass on this request to the other students who might have been able to watch the film.

    Amber
