Last night marked the end of NYU's First Run Film Festival, which is a yearly festival showcasing the work of NYU's film community. Unfortunately, none of my films were eligible (but they will be next year), but I went last night to check out some of the offerings.
On display were a selection of Undergrad and Grad Student films. I don't know, but the difference between the two groups are glaringly obvious. Most of the undergrad films have high production value and just look great. Unfortunately, the writing isn't as good. The grad films are usually lower budget but with better performances and writing.
One notable entry was The Soft Asylum, which is going to be tough to beat. Visually stunning, the complex story is weaved masterfully between two worlds. The sound work is equally impressive. A perfect mixture of sound and image.
