Retrograde

Postby Krom on 04 Feb 2005, 05:01

I've seen it last night and i was shocked how soo low budget is, but was such a potential inside it...

After you'll see The Defender you'll gonna love Romanian cinematography and the way of work. I promis you that this movie will be one of the best thanks to Martinez too.

But i have a bad news about the Bulgarian's filming for The Mechanik, there were made one of the worst movie i've ever seen.

Retrograde does look low budget. It looks like a futuristic version of Agent Red.

Did you really hate Retrograde that much?

If I'm correct, Retrograde was made for only $2 million, and a substantial part of it went to Dolph, so there wasn't much left to make the film...

I hope you don't want to say that Agent Red didn't look cheap. *snicker*

I don't hate Retrograde, i like it more that Detention or Agent Red because i love sci-fi genre
I'm talking about everything that was made in Bulgaria was bad because there is a very low level in cinematography and economy also.

RETROGRADE - A Note from the Director

Postby Jox on 04 Mar 2005, 11:02

RETROGRADE
April 2004
A Note From The Director

The reality of getting a film into production is nothing short of a miracle and collaboration, an integral part of the filmmaking process, can be a dream come true or a nightmare to endure. If you are lucky, your partnerships can bring your vision to a point far beyond your wildest expectations. However, if you are unlucky, the pitfalls can drive one to almost complete despair. My experience with “Retrograde,” in truth, was a bit of both. I had the pleasure of working with many fine artists and technicians, but I was also challenged by a never-ending battle of time constraints, tight budgets and multiple “creative perspectives.” Yet, despite these challenges and at times, disappointments, my experience on “Retrograde” was truly unforgettable. The friendships and creative magic that was forged during the production will stay with me for many years to come.

Through the process, several stood steadfast at my side. One such person was my friend, Stephen Melillo. All of Stephen’s music, regardless of the genre or medium, is pure cinema and one does not need moving pictures to have the story told. For Retrograde, his score is both delicate and fiercely charged. I cannot thank him enough for the mountains he has climbed and conquered to deliver a wondrous, musical, 84 minute soundtrack and in a miraculous, death defying seven days! I am truly blessed to have Stephen not only as an artist collaborator, but as a friend.
God Speed,

Hi,today I saw Direct Action and Retrograde.I bought one of them in Netherland and the other one in Belgium(9 and 10 EURO).I think it is very cheap,the Language is in english.Unfortunately no Features on it.
I like Direct Action a little bit more than Retrograde.The best of the movies is Dolph,he looks great and his body is perfect.
