"Between The Lions" short

[Lewis-M Soucy]

Hi all, I wanted to share this as I'm pretty proud of the result. It's a film I made for a film competition over a few days, just me running around Paris with my Red and an actor. It was shot over 3 days and cut in a day.

It just won Best Film Award last night in London!

"A passionate young lover condemned to a long distance relationship tries to occupy himself between the moments he reunites with his girl."

Well done Lewis. I liked it very much. I take it that you could get permission to use the music just for the film contest? For free, or $?

Thanks Richard! Yes permission to use the music just for the film contest is granted but $$$ for other use as usual. I usually hire a broker for my music licensing and pay copyright. I think it's an important part of my films.
