Legends of Burkittsville: 3 Days Before Heather Left

[lob]

Chronicling the life of the man that needs to track down the map of The Black Hills for Heather Donahue!

The fan made prequel is here!

[Tweek]

Were you involved with this or just sharing? There's already a post about this.

[lob]

The first post was the trailer, this is the full movie.

I've not had the opportunity to watch the full 40 minute film (though I promise I will), but from what I've seen so far this is the best fan film for Blair out there, hence looking forward to watching it in its entirety (this week has been slammed, so it's not that it doesn't have my attention, and it very much deserves proper attention to be seen).

LOB, is this your work?

[lob]

Hello, yes, this is my little love letter to my favorite film! Thank you very much for taking time to watch it and I look forward to any feedback you have.

[Tweek]

Agreed. This is one of the better ones I've seen.

This is the other thread about this that I mentioned:

[lob]

Oh wow! That's awesome, I had not realized another member started a thread! That's very exciting!

[FormallyBlair]

I second that! This is the only fan film to ever capture the essence of the original. Very well done.

[Dan]

Hey Jeff, how do you fancy doing a livestream Q&A this sunday?

[lob]

Yes, absolutely! Let me know the details and if I can help in anyway getting it set up. That sounds awesome!

[FormallyBlair]

I'm so down for this!

[Tweek]

Let's see if we can get more than a handful of people to tune in for this livestream. Very disappointing turnout last time.

[lob]

I’m available whenever, if we wanna hold a bit and let it gather more steam we can do that. Looks like views are a little over 200 so far.

Great job on this! We really enjoyed it!

[Dan]

My plan was to put together a livestream this Sunday night for Elly Kedward. But it would be fun to do so and possible then screen your film with a Q&a afterward? OR, I separate the two livestreams altogether.

Though as what Tweek said is true, the responses lately have been less than desirable. So I'm on the fence.

If I was to do this (for Elly) my plan was to announce tonight at the latest.

Felt the need to do a review of this film, which I haven’t done for quite some time.

What can be said about Legends of Burkittsville?
I loved it
It wasn’t a bad film, the feel that it has from the start is a solid 90’s vibe. Definitely felt reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project (kudos to you by the way in that achievement)

It’s a solid film (loved the tie together ending) and it’s plot was decent, there were moments I felt were not needed (mainly the name drop of Mike and Josh as her two crew members,)
To me, that kind of ruined the scene for me but definitely did not ruin it.
The other thing thing that put me off was Lonnie’s praise for Heather, which, while setting up the motivations for his doing this, felt like an overly-worded exposition.
But, much like the aforementioned name dropping, it does not ruin the scene. It could be chalked down to someone who was hyping their friend’s work.

I am confused on one detail, you may have to fill that blank in on a pm (I don’t want to ruin the ending!)

A solid film, I enjoyed it.
If you are a fan of the first film, I recommend it!
