Shot, edited, and produced in just one day for the 9th Annual Dallas 24 Hour Video Race, "Release" marks Atomic Productions' six year participating in the competition. When he's tasked with picking up a stranger from a fast food restaurant, 19-year-old Luke finds himself in too deep, and with too much to lose. Loan sharks, guns, and contemplation of the human condition abound, "Release" is our latest entry in true atomic form. Shot, albeit haphazardly, on a newly-christened Canon T2i and edited in Sony Vegas 9, the footage may have suffered some granulation and quality issues during the transcoding process. It was our first time using the camera, and first time with Reese (the lead) as a main actor, and both efforts far succeeded our already high expectations. Enjoy the film for what it is. It's similar, intentionally so, to things we've done before, but was an attempt at creating the layered narrative featured toward the end of films like Lucky Number Slevin.
