This is a wonderful collection of student-made short films which range from the whimsical to the frightening. There are mullet-wearing air guitar toughs, a woman who sends letters out into the world carried by balloons, a lynching, an apocalyptic tale about dandelions, a retelling of the Prometheus myth, and more.
One thread that ties these shorts together is that they are all new takes on old stories. They may pay homage to the past but they also go beyond it, they don’t just merely retell it. These filmmakers have bright futures and it will be a pleasure to see what they contribute to the film world.
