Charls Carroll in THE SINISTER ILLUSION - A Kino Corner Short Film

[@TheKinoCorner]

I want to thank FUTO for helping to make this happen. All I had to do was add in our identification app into some scenes but I pretty much had complete creative control and got to have so much fun making this with Charls. If you liked our little film, consider checking out FUTO ID. You can learn more about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJOrcol9qtCAeNk And you can download it here: harbor.social/ It's totally free right now but downloads will ensure that I can get funds to make something else. I know that Charls and I were talking about possibly doing a feature.

Charls actually lived through the 1940s and 50s, giving him valuable insight into this role

Charls was born for roles like this

Holy fuck. So many golden lines here, the "one" line was beautiful. Yes Chuck, a single time is one time too many.

[@carl8399]

The performances from all of the actors were incredible. I rarely give KZbin videos my whole attention however while watching I was completely glued to the screen, mind captured by the story. Every shot is very beautiful, visually interesting and the story was incredible. I was wondering the entire time why anachronistic genre tropes were used I thought it was just for aesthetics but it actually had substance which was refreshing and interesting. Charls has one of the most incredible faces I have ever seen, very striking features, making every shot of him captivating. He has the face of an actor.

[@TheVloger99]

MDE and Kino Corner was not the collab I was expecting but I'm here for it. Great job fellas!

Wasn't sure where this was going at first, but I liked it a lot. It was cool seeing Charls as a tech-induced noir detective.

[@masonnewellcomtois]

Really enjoyed this. Hopefully there is more from this collab.

[@jackotken2393]

Love how authentic this feels. Shot on film, long takes, sharp dialog, and smooth delivery. Really comes across like everyone involved actually gave a damn. Great stuff.

[@DommoDommo]

I miss old noirs, Chuck killed it in this. Would love more of this style!

[@SIMUL4CR4]

Y'all be thinkin dis be classic noir, when it's actually cinema veritae. They just followed this dude around with a camera documentary style. Pure kino.

[@A_View_From_The_Shire]

I’ve been waiting for this since you announced it. It didn’t disappoint. Loved the twilight zone/lynchian style. Charls was great. Feature length with Charls when?

[@TheKinoCorner]

Chuck and I are working on a feature right now

[@A_View_From_The_Shire]

I'll watch anything that Charles acts in. Great little film!

Got that old TV audio down 100% soo good man. And I'm an audio man...verified at that 📱

[@Porsalin]

This is a huge accomplishment, you and Charls ought to be hugely proud of this. Excellently acted and beautifully shot. Congratulations to all involved and I'm certainly looking forward to your next project.

Wow Kino, I'm impressed. Please make more in the future.

[@lethalmuffin101]

After watching this I believe that Charls needs to make a film with Neil Breen. Great stuff!

Now this a short film. VERIFIED.

[@GunSperg]

This is great. Truly captured the noir feel. And I got lost in this piece in a way that’s very uncommon for me, idk how else to put it. Charls was astounding as always. The long haired guy should do voice acting.

incredible work, Kino. it's immediately clear that you and Charls make a killer duo, but hell, the whole team pitched in big time for this. I'll be keeping tabs on what's to come, cause it's looking bright.

[@user-yk9gq1wd9z]

great work, really enjoyed this! just a "tech" tip you might appreciate. Even if your final output is 1080p, there's a lot to gain by rendering it as a 4k upscale and uploading that to youtube. the compression is kinder to a higher res upload, especially so on shadowy/grainy video like this.

not to mention how impressive it is with the limited takes of 16mm.

[@TrevorZero]

hell yeah

[@SirTeenyPeeny]

The more I watch it the more I like it. I love that the ending is fully digital. For now I will assume this is all about the loss of analog technology/methodology and its incredible beauty, and whether or not we can preserve it. If Twin Peaks: The Return claims we can never truly go back, this asks if that's actually true. I think we can go back, and do, and you have done.
