Student films are either a hit or miss. Either you get the really talented people who know what they're doing, or you get the ones who are completely distracted by the craziness of running a production.
A month ago I was contacted by Jonathan Dhauw, a film studies major at UCI (Zot! Zot!). We have previously acted in a short film together (which never got finished) and he invited me to act in his newest project, a short for a film contest sponsored by some big names.
I love student films. It becomes less about the finished product and more about the learning experience. I learn a lot more about film production during a student film than during a professional shoot, since I get to do more things. I got to help out with lighting (putting my photography training into play!), I got to hold the boom, and I got to really add my ideas to the film. And I had so much fun!

I like how all the characters had names in the credits. Now if it had been a little blue pill in the box, much more considerate, what an amateur. Good work, your resume is building nicely.
