Where have you been?



Uploaded by: VendettaMan
Video Description:
This film was not for profit and was just a project for my "Intro to Fiction" class.
For 30 extra credit points we had to make a short film based on one of the short stories we read and discussed in class. I chose my favorite story that I have read several times.
It's one of those psychological thrillers.
It is based on the short story "Where are you going, where have you been?" by Joyce carol Oates
My girlfriend wishes to state that she is a theatre actress and NOT a film actress.
My girlfriend did a fantastic job editing this together. It was shot in one day over a period of nine hours and there was a half hour worth of footage. When we both saw the finished product we were so excited.
There is some langauge but nothing too bad.
Originally, my cousin was going to play the villian but he had to drop out due to work and time constraints. My girlfriend, as you can see, plays the protaganist.
"Where are you going, where have you been?" remains the property of the author Joyce carol Oates. When you get a chance, please read it. It's a great story.
Enjoy the film.
P.S. I'll tell you guys what my class thought of it and if I got the extra credit points.
(Update-jan. 6th, 2008. I know I never told you guys this. I forgot to get back to this video. My teacher ended up giving me the full 30 points. In fact, he liked it so much, that he shows it to his friends and he plans on showing it to his future students. He also wants to know if me and my girl can adapt another story for him. One that was written by Ernest Hemmingway. We'll see what happens. I'm hopeful.)

Great vid, though its not exactly like the story... But what I don't get is how he's the devil...? I mean, okay, obviously he's a bad scary perv, but you know the shoe part? How he's not actually tall abnd is embarrassed by it? And the fact that he can't keep up with the lingo? Well al;l of those things are flaws in Connie's eyes,

and if he was actually the devil, I think that she wouldnt be able to recognize his flaws.. But besides that, I think that the devil comparison is good because he plays on her fears and all..

Love your work! Joyce Carol Oates would be proud....have you contacted her yet? This has such an Oates flavor to it......really love it!

No, I haven't contacted her. Maybe I should just to see what she thinks of it. I hope she enjoys it. You know how I can reach her?
Thanks for the compliments. Me and my girl worked really hard on it. Plus, this story has been a favorite of mine for quite some time now. I think I wanna do more adaptations.
Joyce Carol Oates ... ( 1 year ago by KocoCure)
Joyce Carol Oates teaches writing and literature at both Rutgers University (New Jersey) and SUNY/Stony Brook @Southampton College on Long Island. I know because I have studied many of her works. I think she would probably be interested in viewing your interpretation of her work. It's worth a shot....Good luck! You are truly talented, and i think you should continue doing more adaptations. An interesting author similar to Ms. Oates is A.M. Homes. Give her a shot - she's a good read.
