The complete Leverage now online

The full version of Leverage has gone online at blip.tv. (For those you don't know, it's the short feature that was completed before BoxWorld started shooting.) It's pretty massive (250Meg), so it's not recommended for wireless connections. It's also in a large 720x480 format for fullscreen viewing. So if you watch in the smaller window, you'll see a swimming in the fine lines as the player tries to resize the image down on the fly. I need to recompress and re-encode at a smaller dimension for a smoother viewing experience.

Here's the link to see it at blip.tv where you can switch to full screen mode: http://blip.tv/file/224405/

Movie website: http://www.tascfilms.com

Running time: 45 minutes

A failing technology company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Two desperate programmers and a receptionist take their chances and plunge headlong into a seedy world of corporate espionage and corruption.

Leverage is a short digital feature that pushes past the usual glossy office dramas found on television and into a grittier, more unflinching reality. Shot entirely in live, working office spaces, Leverage mixes the next generation of method actors with actual employees to achieve a unique documentary-style immersion into the story.

Leverage premiered at the Golden Lion Film Festival in Swaziland, Africa in 2006. Note: Due to the large file size (the file is 250 Meg), your computer may have trouble playing the video smoothly. If you would like a higher quality version, please go to http://www.westerray.com/mainsite/contact.html to contact us for dvd availablitiy. Thanks for watching and enjoy!
