We also executed detailed shot tracking and stabilization, advanced character and environment rotoscoping, and delivered a fully animated green screen replacement sequence for the film’s powerful conclusion, all optimized to elevate the cinematic experience and ensure visual continuity.
Critical Acclaim and Festival Recognition
Thanks in part to the strong visuals, SHARE? won Best Feature in the Thriller, Fantasy, Horror & Sci-Fi category at the Cinequest Film Festival, while also receiving high praise from critics. Following its success on the festival circuit, XYZ Films released SHARE? on video on demand (VOD) in November 2023. It was followed by a two-week, six-city Alamo Drafthouse Q&A tour.
