ThrowawayHowdy, folks.  Let me start by saying that, there was a thread that was started many months ago about some DVD that Chuck was handing out as gifts during one of his UK readings for "Snuff."  Well, that DVD was for my short horror movie "Throwaway."  Chuck was nice enough to help us promote the thing.  At the time, the thread I'm referring to was discussing this little mystery.  And once it was discovered that it was my movie, I think Mirka tried to petition everyone to have me get the film online.  Well, I definitely wanted to back then, but we were still in the process of submitting it to film festivals.  So I was going to post this as a reply to that same thread, but dammit if I couldn't locate it.

Therefore, I am shamelessly starting a brand new thread instead.

The movie is called "Throwaway."  It's short.  Like 21 mins.  Kirk converted it conveniently to Flash, so it's easy to view and loads quick.  It's sort of a brutal movie.  Very NSFW.  But I'd love your feedback after.  We have a comments section set up on the page.  

Watch Throwaway  here!

Sorry, Dennis, it's too freaky for me to watch it again.

Nate, here's your chance so see if it as scary as I said or if I am just a big scaredy pants.

I am a little late....I Just watched that though and thought it was great. As a filmmaker I found it really inspiring. Good work.

Thanks for all the comments, guys. I'm so thrilled to see this thread get resurrected.

Also, for anyone that's interested, my follow-up short called 'Identical Dead Sisters', will be going online soon. It's sort of a exploitation revenge thriller. You can check out some info on it here, as well as see a link to a gallery:

Okay, I expected a bit too much maybe. Definitely not a bad movie, I liked it, but everyone reacting about how bad it was.. It wasn't that bad.

Define your usage of the word "bad". Do you mean bad as in, not good? Or bad as in, "Oh my god! That's horrific. Too hard to watch!"?

The gore and violence killed the suspense.... but it looked cool.
