[@billfairjazz2532]

Quite good. The Spider should get an Oscar.

[@shortyus20mc]

I am the father of Sheryl Scott "Mary". I am so proud of you. You are amazing.

[@rogerrobinson6872]

I know a woman named Sheryl Scott living in Boston, MA that bares a real resemblance to this woman. Are there any more Sheryl Scotts in the family?

[@cretintendencies]

Brilliant! Excellent actress. "It really is to die for."

[@Lyn683]

Still one of my favorite short films i have ever seen

[@doreendaykin6693]

Great short….Sherly Scott is amazing!!

[@RoguishBlonde]

Fantastic! Beautiful cinematography and story, wonderful actress/narrator

[@nirdjha2000]

OH.... MY.... WOW! I've been doing these races for six years... and it's films like this that make me want to call it quits! This looks... FANTASTIC! Very well done - please post what awards you win! This has GOT to win something! Well done!

[@yon.montoto]

Gotta love when they break that fourth wall!

[@susanzed]

Wow. This was a wonderfully crafted short film in its own right. The fact that the required elements were incorporated seamlessly and it was all done in 48 hours? BRAVO.

[@MaddieCollins11]

This is my favorite one I've seen so far. I totally want to get into these sorts of things!

[@Mommaatoz]

Very good!! I loved the story... True work or art...

[@loupsolitaire1518]

And that's how magic works! You, people, are awesome, and this film of yours is a pure, brute piece of the finest gold! Thank you for that magic! :D

[@NicConnerImages]

Great Film! Shots were beautiful!!

[@AlexBerman]

Great work!

[@ethanwalls7369]

Amazing short film !

[@kishac.g.7023]

Wow... This was excellent! Thank you for sharing. ;-)

[@BadGorillaFilms]

Very nice! We just became fans of Sheryl Scott!

[@pixelutiontv]

Very nice ! i like this one awesome cinematography.

[@gzuzsavz]

Love it! Nice job. A pal of mine is doing one of these, this upcoming weekend with a pal of hers. They're excited, ofc! We just watched this & will watch a few more as a sort of video recon.

[@W4EMB]

Pure Gold. I am just learning an editor program. I hope to make some shorts as well. The story was creative and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you!

[@andrewhancock2451]

The spider was enacted by herself! Good to know! The ending musical score was quite nice, too.

[@cdickenson64]

I can see why it won. Great little film

[@milliejaymoon]

Great storyline, very different and unexpected. Beautifully filmed too. Well done :)

[@brytroyer4676]

THAT was delicious! Thank you for serving such a tasty short.

[@DaveTheTurd]

Well done. Enjoyed the writing.

[@TinyGlowingScreens]

this is fabulous.

[@sally-annestrawberry4588]

Absolutely loved this! A Perfect 10/10, 1 New Subscriber & ThankYou Very Much.. The time that goes into these short films is mind boggling and I think your All fantastic and are Well Deserving of All the Praise/Compliments you receive.. ✌️👏🎥👍

[@dorseyeliana]

WOW what a art very nicely put together.

[@KhadijahOnline]

totally awesome work

[@kookiemoose]

This was very wicked. Thank you!

[@scottmena4653]

Great job!!! Such a clever narration and story. Plus you had a neat way of weaving all the required elements in the film.

[@ryguyw21]

Thanks. It was pretty easy, but you do have to do a little work to interpolate the 60p footage to 24p. So either you take the footage through Cinetools or drop it in it's own 60p timeline than export it out to 23.98. Than import it back into your main 1080 24p timeline. But after you drop it in your main 1080 timeline, just do a quick manual scaling through your effects controls and it's ready to go.

[@Dub10hawk]

That was really, really good! I started watching and could not stop until it was over! I will be on the look out for more to come. I am sure more will be coming soon!

[@LunerversalFilmTV]

Very nice film.

[@MrJKATv]

Really loved this. Your work's amazing man. Wow, well done

[@joesandoval2311]

Nothing like a good ole family recipe to take care of those occasional annoyances.

[@christelletremaine8900]

i like how this story was told.

[@jayshiku]

Wonderful!

[@drflyingscotsman]

Totally impressed from beginning to the end. Cast and Crew created a flawless work of art.

[@thebodyshop14]

this is legendary

[@ryguyw21]

I believe we used a Shure KM32 for her voice over, and an Audio Technica short condenser shotgun mic for her other elements. They were fed straight into the 5D Mark 3 with a Juicedlink box. Would to have loved to use an external recorder but that would have take up precious post production time synching audio.

[@highonshayari]

spider.......herself.

[@super8studios208]

So budget friendly, five actors and kitchen supplies

[@KelleyKat]

Fiddle! I love it!

[@metaldude21]

nice writing, nice cinematography.

[@danielrosen2032]

It's films like this that inspire me to compete.

[@kathousel]

Crawly spidey was the first clue! Great film! And here in NC too!

[@harrisonmccormick4479]

really good work, only thing that threw me off was that you can see cherry breathing at the end

[@sterlinggirl1]

Loved it!!!!!!

[@BeMyVforever]

Wow that was brilliant! :D

[@plasticopia1]

Very nice little film...I almost dropped out of the audience in the first few minutes, it sounded kind of corny, but it sure pulled together mid-way and really worked.

[@pedicabfilms8791]

I cant believe these people made it very hard to find this film. I first seen this in 2012 and all you had to do was put in cake into the search bar. Now its literally impossible to find it. Yet Netflix as a whole film (Georgia & Jinny) on this topic. not to mention all the other movies and shows. why target this one. I wanted to cry, because I hated to know that me supporting this film caused it to go incognito. I support this film whole heartily ( no pun tended) and hope this director gets more accolades, support and more prosperity. this film shows a black woman in all her feminine glory but deadly as hell. Horror and psychological thriller don't get no better than that! and all this achieved in under 10 min. This is way better than saw!!!!

[@ryguyw21]

I can't remember the specific tracks but they were purchased from premiumbeat library

[@johnwettermark]

Bravo!

[@Dustystrails]

Nice Job, good for you & your team. I love the story line, sweet. We shot in Alb,NM on a red & edited w/FCP7. Congratulations. Oh, our 48 HFP project was called "Baking Bad", "Team PH8", our line was "I see Stars", our genre was "Cop/Detective", & our prop was "Powdered Sugar". We have our "Best of Film" this weekend, July 28, in Q. We are in the best of finals for NM. Maybe we will see y'all at Filmapalosa in LA. Your star is a stone fox. Bring her, leave the cake behind. LOL

[@chavellasmiles]

Nice!..CONGRATS!!!

[@jyotisahajwani]

SUPER!!!

[@ryguyw21]

I was a big fan of FCP 7, but that of course requires lots of transcoding if you shoot with DSLRs. With FCP X I'm just not a fan, tried it for awhile and gave up. Too slow, sluggish, and still has to background render everything. Premiere is great, import footage, work with it natively in the timeline, no background rendering needed. Made the process so much faster than the old days. Yes, they made us down-convert it to SD.

[@nirdjha2000]

If you would be so kind... would you mind sharing what you shot this on - and what did you post it in?

[@rachelcruz147]

What sound equipment did you use? Awesome job! Thank you!

[@TheVolumeCollective]

Pretty cool this one. :D

[@bowler8]

brilliant

[@ryguyw21]

I've updated the description with some technical notes. Thanks.

[@HoursMusic-bd4fy]

Can you tell me what aspect ratio this was shot in

[@EmmanuelAndriulo]

Nice!

[@DNTMEE]

Took a while to get it. The credits helped. Apparently she entertained 3 of Cherry's "indiscretions", but we only saw the one who came to the door. Seems she didn't expect her. Could make a sequel showing her finding more and more of his liaisons all over town. But I see this is old news now.

[@nirdjha2000]

Thanks for the info - we shot both Mark II and Mark III this year - first time with either - we post on FCP, and we had major issues importing from the Mark III (some glitch that they need to patch). Does you local venue force you to dumb down your final submission to SD?

[@FestasKiprop_the_one_and_only]

am in between amazed and scared!

[@PaulFrank_paz]

bravo¡

[@Arekadagoddess]

Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!

[@JiroOrduna]

What did you use for sound? External field recorder? Rhode NTG mics?

[@Joshuwhatever]

What format did you turn this in as? For some reason our city is saying it has to be 30 fps and in 720/480 (hngh)... did you have to tone down the quality to turn yours into them as well?

[@daisyreyes2618]

Wheew 👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯🙌🙌❤

[@derpyderp5049]

I knew something was gonna happen when she said you're never know what's in the cake or something like that

[@martissebest]

Fabulous film. Let me know if you are entering in 2014!

[@janicemahan4772]

Cake is my favorite. Hmmm...

[@ChemicalUnion]

Soundtrack?

[@mariat4054]

it wasnt a good idea to eat cake while watching this!

[@ashervonsteinlager]

We totally have those same spiders in new zealand

[@gearaxis]

where can I get the recipe?

[@leahsaks]

Awesome!

[@kgirishchandra]

Wow.

[@webmaster4725]

Great!

[@beeclan50]

Some people dont like cake though. I would agree

[@LakituStar]

wtf its poisoned never mind i dont want the cake anymore

[@myGodurLord]

Why I'm I so scared right now........

[@LakituStar]

bake me a cake

[@eclipsnx110]

To be honest this one was kinda funny

[@johnjordan4040]

cruel genius

[@SAndSPictures]

I'm confused... Was there a reason she was killing those people?

[@eitanawyle2321]

Realizing that you likely moved on by now, but I believe the implication is that her significant other was cheating on her based on how she called them "indiscretions".

[@ASProductionsSLC]

sweet tattoo on the wrist

[@benabele]

I was completely engaged but then when she went psychotic on me I wondered why in the world am I even watching this??

[@Soldier1287]

Cake to all the impure

[@kenyansongoogle8888]

damn

[@RadioForYahweh]

#omeleto

[@kwekuhayford538]

Beta Testers Wanted! Only a few openings left. @t

[@jcistruthaima9852]

No.

[@kennethperkins9480]

Man, this was awesome. You realize how hard these are to make when you give it a go! Just finished my first 48 hour challenge. We drew the genre “Super Hero”. I wrote it Friday night. I directed and ran the main cam and cinematography on Saturday for 14 hours. However, I made the crazy awful mistake of starting the editing process at 8am on Sunday when it was due at 6. This was my first time shooting with a crew. We had 15! I normally make my own movies as a one man band. Here’s the result if anyone cares to take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIuQd4FvrNSNh7M

[@thegharfam5743]

Wow.
