Slice of Life

Such a cool SF short! It's an homage to the science fiction movies of the 80's, so if you're a fan, this will be a dream come true, and if you don't care for the genre, you'll be astonished by the sheer brilliance of the filmmaking in this movie. The esthetic is amazing, all done with practical effects and miniatures... storytelling is Hitchcockian - show, don't tell. It hits all the right notes for suspense and puts you in the middle of dystopian vortex of despair. This movie left me wanting more, sure hope I get it.

Very refreshing to see, that this group of filmmakers used so many old school techniques to make this film just as good as a professional Sci fi movie, where everything is almost made by CGI.

The work with the practical miniatures is so well done. With a minimal amount of resources, they achieved a very moody and dystopian Sci fi look.

This movie is only told by action of the actors and not by talking and they sold the stories so good, that there is no need for the actors to talk. What we see on screen says enough to tell the story. You can feel the emotions of the main character and the struggle he is going through.

Very well done and a must watch for every Sci fi fan.

The attention to detail in this production is second-to-none. Even the musical score and set dressing in the night club scene is accurate to the film that it pays tribute to. How is it that a super low-budget independent production like this was able to accurately capture the style of the 1982 Blade Runner film effects and sets while every multi-million dollar Hollywood attempt to do something like Blade Runner has failed miserably?

People who see Slice of Life owe it to themselves to also check out the behind the scenes videos that outline the research that went into this production and the process that the film-makers used for creating the shots. It's like handing someone sticks, stones, a few pieces of string, and a $20.00 bill while telling them to make something with scenes that stand up to the cyberpunk world of Blade Runner. Impossible? Apparently not.

Kudos to the patience and raw talent displayed in this work of art. The major studios would be insane not to hire these people.

I really liked this film. It Is beautiful and entertaining. The practical effects in this film were as identical to the original Blade Runner. The lack of dialogue in this film made it relaxing and will be good way to watch when you're in bed.

The world and atmosphere these guys have created to build the cyberpunk world was basically flawless, from the colors, VFX, practical effects and costuming. This is the most accurate Blade Runner type film I've ever seen. I hope we get to see more movies like this in the future. 20 minutes was a great runtime for 'Slice of Life'. Wish Harrison Ford could be in it. 8/10.

What can two guys working in a garage on their passion project in Croatia do? A lot apparently. What started as a short film that was completely self funded ended up being one of the most successful short film Kickstarter campaigns, and for a good reason. Hrgovic and Julius made more than a fan film, they took everything they love and admire from their favorite directors and movies and made it their own. Miniatures, matte paintings and the "old school" way of doing things is, in their case, a strength and what gives this short film its magic and charm. The making of videos on their Youtube channel could easily be a series on their own. Looking forward in seeing what will happen once they get the acknowledgment and recognition they deserve.
