By big screen, we mean direct to DVD and a few con showings. But close enough.
The plot:
After more than a decade of peace the proud and noble kingdom of Valanor is suddenly torn apart by a terrible civil war. When the dust settles and recourses start to dwindle, the starving people of Valanor cry out for peace, forcing the leaders of Tier, Sinnah, Daneth and Osgard to lay down their arms and meet each other at the negotiation table.
As each province prepares an envoy to find a diplomatic solution at the Kingdom’s only neutral ground, an ancient evil plots its return. Unbeknownst to the leaders of the four warring provinces this old enemy will stop at nothing to crush any hope of lasting peace.
Can the four envoys put their old hatreds aside and forge a bond of trust? Or will those that crave the blood and terror of war get their way?
Whatever the outcome, the fate of Valanor will be decided at Bitter Lake.
Notes:
Bitter Lake is the first live action full motion picture to be made in the Furry Fandom and is the second EZwolf and Shay production to date. Produced entirely by the crew itself and sponsored by Eurofurence, Bitter Lake combines the creative skills of a small team of enthusiastic and driven people and shows what can be done with minimum resources in a very short timeframe. The incredible work done when it comes to camera work, script and story writing, music composition, (voice) acting, art and fursuit building is something unique and every piece of the puzzle fits. Shot entirely on location in France and the Netherlands in HD 35 mm, Bitter Lake will premiere at Eurofurence 17 in August of 2011 and will feature an original sound track by Fox Amoore.
The trailer:
I guess this premiered this weekend. To a bunch of people wearing fursuits. Does this trailer leave a bitter taste in your mouth?
At least they won’t have to hide their faces afterward. That’s something.
If we say too many bad things about this film, the wolf with the horns will gore us!
