Use
of Budget
I enjoyed this student film because of the potential I
see in the Director. At first I was a little in the dark
as to what the $7,000 budget was spent on. Generally when
one films a project film under tutelage at an academic
institution, they are privy to the resources of said institution.
However,
when I went through and re-read his submission, I saw
that he had to rent a storage area in Queens and then
build the entire set himself, it all became crystal clear.
With
all that in consideration, it was a pretty good use of
funding.
Lasting
Appeal
Would I watch this film again? Given the fact that this
film was only 14 minutes long, I can't say it would be
one people would watch time and again simply because of
the awkwardness of the overall running time. (Too long
to be a concise short and too short to be a Twilight Zone
episode.) I have to give it a lower score in this category
simply because of the duration. If I were to market this,
I would suggest it be part of a compilation of similar
works…. I would then say that I would prefer that
Mr. Fons direct those works, because Minos is a
great example of what he is capable of in a directing
role. If you look at the credits you'll see that there
have been quite a few people involved in this production,
and it seems that Juan Luis Lopez Fons was able to keep
everyone wonderfully to task. I am very much interested
to see his future works because he obviously has a lot
of talent and potential
