Saw this at Sundance one of the first years I attended the festival - blew me away...It went by much too fast, and I've never been able to find it again.
This is the most energetic and entertaining ten minutes of film >I've seen in a long time. As a film student at NYU, where this >short has been screened several times, I salute Jim Cox for his >astute sense of style and pace for our generation.
I saw this short film on HBO the other day and absolutely loved it. Eight different characters, eight different perspectives.
I cannot stress enough the artistic and fantastic way this short was written shot and edited. Mr Cox and his editors do a superb job of showing the interaction of 4 different groups illustrating not only the errors in their perceptions of others and events around them, but also of our own errors and prejudices.
This is a wonderful short! The idea behind it makes it very unique and very entrancing.
The film focuses on a short time period in a corner store. In the store are a young junkie girl, the two store owners, a group of men who are close to getting a record deal and a pair of Orientals who are heavily into break dancing.
I see hundreds of student films- this is tops. james cox is a fantastic director- he moves the camera, tells the story and uses music in a way that is far advanced for his years.
