I wrote the original script of 'Listen'. It was about a fighter and his moments of motivation just before going out to the arena. It was a script about the preparation and self-motivation that every single person has before an important event. Finally, the script was changed during the shooting and the fighter turned out to be a mentally disturbed clinic patient who imagined the whole thing with the fighting arena. Of course, the film has it's strengths and weaknesses. We were able to use a studio for the shooting which was very helpful for creating the certain atmosphere that we wanted to achieve. Also, I find the acting very good, no matter of the fact that the actor that played the coach did not manage to learn his lines which caused some problems on the shooting day. I think the role of the coach was extremely hard to be done and the actor performed excellently. As a weaknesses I could point firstly the editing which is very amateurish, maybe because of the lack of shots which is the second major weakness. Small amount of different camera angles and not good camera movement, too. As a whole, I think that 'Listen' had the potential to be our best film, but unfortunately it is not.
