First Short Film

So, we had our annual uncUT Film Festival here at the University of Toledo, and as a part of the Arts Living and Learning Community dorms, I was required to form a group with some friends and make a film together. As the producer, I mostly get credit for the film, but really I couldn't have done anything nearly as well if it wasn't for my friend Caleb, who's a film major and knew about some basic composition and film techniques. Thanks to his hard work and my generally amazing self, and the help of other various friends at the dorm, I managed to not only squeeze out a film in 4 days' time, but also make a film worthy of 2nd place in the film festival. Of course, I was actually kind of bummed because I was secretly hoping to get first place. But small matters! That's just fine with me. The requirements of the film: The film had to be 3-5 minutes long, but we had some lee-way. My submitted film was 6 and a half minutes long, although my director's cut is 7 and a half. The film had to pertain to the first year on the UT campus. The film had to be awesome. The last one is a joke, because if that last one was a requirement, some of the films shown that night would have been immediately disqualified, because they sucked really hard. Seriously, I'm normally a pretty lenient and nnon-critical guy, but there were a couple films that just made you feel like you were watching the results of a 5 year old with a camera. Anyways, without further ado, I give you my director's cut short film.
