Campus Movie Fest 2008

Last year, I was lucky enough to be one of the judges in the Comedy category for Campus Movie Fest, the national student film festival. The movies we screened really varied in quality, from action comedies that would make Rush Hour look amateur to a film that was basically uncut video footage of the filmmaker and his friends getting drunk at a frat party.

It was hard to pick a winner, mostly because the judges couldn't agree on what we should even be basing our decision on. But it was an enjoyable experience, and even after watching 100+ student films (which should be worth some kind of endurance prize), I'll do it again if they ask this year.

Anyway, after watching so many of these shorts, and even creating and appearing in a couple of my own, I guess I have as much appreciation as anyone for the medium. But that's not why I'm posting the film below. I'm posting it because my friend Greg is in it! He doesn't have any lines, but gets to break necks and steal paintings as the male mercenary. I haven't figured out how to vote for the picture, but if you enjoy it, follow the link back to Ourstage and let me know if you find the rating app. I'd love to give his debut some well-deserved stars.
