Over It
Going to school at USC had afforded me the privilege of knowing a lot of people in the cinema school (I was even a film minor for about a year, back when I thought I was going to go into some sort of law and I had this notion of going into entertainment law). A lot of the film people at ‘SC just seemed to be the same sort of I-like-George-Lucas-maybe-if-I-jump-through-the-right-hoops-I-can-be-like-him-too scenster people (sort of the same model of people you found in the business school but with some air of artistic pretension), but I had the pleasure of befriending one beautifully creative soul by the name of Elizabeth Acosta. Liz is one of the coolest people I know and even though we seem to be very different, I think we’re quite similar in a lot of ways. She’s one of those people who does what she loves, which shows in the work that she creates.
Check out her short “Over It”, which she’s about to enter into some fancy schmancy Echo Park film series:
I really like that second cut. Way more powerful.
