When a teenager runs away from home, she encounters an arcade machine that replays her deepest regret. "Would You Like To Try Again?" by Michael Felker 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.instagram.com/michaellfelker/ https://www.lastlifefilms.com/ https://filmthreat.com/reviews/would-you-like-to-try-again/ 🎬 Director’s Statement: Anytime I look back on an old regret, I'm constantly asking myself "what would I do differently knowing what I know now?" That question. to me, is pretty similar to the process of trying to beat a boss or a hard level in a video game. So with "Would You Like To Try Again," we wanted to merge the two and make a sci-fi movie that funnels that feeling of ruminating over your old regrets through the repetitive nature of old arcade games. It's a small cryptic film that feels incredibly with our near silent protagonist as she gains hindsight by seeing a new perspective she didn't before. And the entire production hopes people can empathize with her journey and really think about that question "what would I do differently knowing what I know now?" 🎞️ About the Film: Writer/Director - Michael Felker Producer - Shane Spiegel Producer - Jori Felker Executive Producer - Kathleen Felker Casting Director - Rachel Imbriglio 1st Assistant Director - Lily Ziegler Studio Teacher - Carol Bandy Associate Producer - Sydney Richman Director of Photography - Carissa Dorson 1st AC - Katie Carpenter 2nd AC - Christine Kelly Gaffer - Aaron Pagniano Key Grip - Rene Yescas Sound Mixer - Ian Wellman Production Designer - Caitlin Nicole Williams Costume Designer - Elle Leon Nostas Art Director - Stephen Magnero Set Dresser - Kiyomi Morrison Arcade Coordinator - Bob Elson, Jeff Luteran Hair/Makeup Artist - Katie Vernon Editor - Rebeca Marques Visual Effects - Jessica Kelley Composer - Logan Rees Re-Recording Mixer - Stephen Clark, CAS Colorist - Brian Barrow Additional Sound - Andy Hofle Cast: Kate Buatti Olivia Stuck Kent Mcguire Jori Felker Sydney Richman Lauren Buatti Kathleen Felker Jeff Luteran Shane Speigel Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.
