The newest film from Blue Smoke Studios was funded and produced by the Pacific Union College Department of Visual Arts and tells the tale of one man's courage, heroism and unfailing love to his family. What would you give to protect the people you hold most dear? The movie was filmed in California's Napa Valley with a crew of 18 filmmakers, 3 main actors and actresses and countless extras. The enormous effort shows in this unflinching story of love and self-sacrifice.

Wow, this was exceptionally well made. The effects were done extremely well and you captured the frenzy of battle with deft camera work. Also, it was an excellent choice to tell the story entirely through visuals, as opposed to having a lot of expository dialogue. I think the only thing lacking for me was how the relationship was shown. I don't think you have to go as far as to show sex, because it's already implied, but there was no romantic tension between the husband and wife. The closest form of affection between them was a friendly hug. I understand that some actors won't kiss on screen, but even holding hands and looking at each other implies a much stronger relationship than two people hugging. Use of Effects Lab is definitely a 5. But for story, I'd have to give an overall 4. Still, this was very well made.

Yes. Well said. This was a successful project for us beginners, on our way to becoming better filmmakers.
