Lights...camera...action!

In the light of showcasing what they've got when it comes to film production and documentary making, the School of Arts and Sciences of the University of the Assumption held their 6th short film festival where films made by their AB Communication students were shown.
Among the said films, ERPATS, an entry showcasing a life of a college student who is in search for his father got the most applause. This is probably because of its creative mixture of comedy, drama, romance and suspense. Being a member of the audience, I could say that it's not the typical comedy film with predictable scenes. Apart from that, the jokes are new and are really funny. Over all, it is not boring.
However, my attention went to KUBO, a horror film. It's a story about friendship, love and betrayal which led to a horrifying dispute. The effects are really engrossing. I myself don't believe in ghosts but I was really moved by the scenes and scared during the time it was being played. In the end, I voted for it. I hope it will win.


The occasion was graced by three jurors, one of them was Direk Dante Brillante Mendoza who won the Best director for his film, LOLA in the prestigious Cannes filmfest.
After some picture taking with him, we went home talking about the films we've watched, excited to do our own.
