A look at what's going on in Trinidad, on H Street, and in the larger area north of Capitol Hill.
Remember a while back when we discussed a casting call for a sitcom about H Street? Well, they've wrapped up shooting and submitted the finished product to some festivals. Hopefully we'll be able to see the full thing soon, but here's a short trailer for now. One note, it's apparently a sitcom within a sitcom, but I get the feeling that idea probably is more clear in the full length version. Read more about it here.

I like it! If the stupid gigantic cock wasn't there, they could have a screening on the side of Smith Common!

Or, they could just drop a sheet over part of the mural?

The set-up at the beginning made me think this was a horror movie. I kept waiting for the Blair Witch to show up. Color me confused.

This looks terrible, especially if this is a trailer with the "best parts".
Jul 5, 2012, 9:28:00 AM
Video looks good, audio quality is horrible. Content quality TBD, but agree that it's not looking great if the trailer is supposed to feature the best highlights.

Everybody's a film critic these days.
Congrats for actually finishing a video not just watching movies, tv shows and talking about making a short someday.

@Fatty: Anon 10:07 here. I've produced live TV, a one-hour documentary, TV news, any now freelance in video production with several stations as clients.
Like I said, the video seems good, but the audio is horrible and the trailer doesn't sell it.
I'm not a "film critic," but I do know good production values ahd what I'd like to watch, and this ain't it. It may attract a local H street audience, but probably not much more in its current form.

Tried to turn on the captioning but it wasn't transcribed well so it came out all weird.
#captionTHIS, guys?
Would love to watch local films.
