Because dialogue is so important to the film, she cast several Eckerd <a href=\"\/theatre\/\">theatre<\/a> students. \u201cI want people to laugh \u2026 to just enjoy it,\u201d she says. After coming to Eckerd as a marine science student, Mara switched to film studies her second year. \u201cAs a film major,\u201d she adds, \u201cthe supportive feeling here is a lot more genuine than it would probably be at a larger school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>End of Daze<\/em>, from Conall Rubin-Thomas, focuses on three people who take shelter in an underground bunker before, during and after an asteroid strikes the Earth and causes massive destruction. \u201cTwo of the people are worried about what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Conall explains, \u201cand one is excited because it\u2019s a disaster film come to life.\u201d Conall says movies \u201care not just vehicles for escapism and entertainment, but also time capsules of their ages, commentaries on reality, and responses to our ever-evolving world. I now have a detailed understanding of how cinema can be interpreted and understood, and I can use the skills I developed to create new ideas, bolster my own arguments and reach people with new concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>A Day in the Life of an Eckerd Student<\/em>, from Penh Alicandro, uses split screen to follow two Eckerd students (junior Sam Randall and senior Alex Harsha) through their daily lives. \u201cThey each do their own thing,\u201d Penh says, \u201cbut their paths cross occasionally. Making the film has been a fun process, but you don\u2019t realize how much work goes into it. Scripting this was a struggle because I was new to it. And I wanted Sam and Alex to act naturally, so I told them to say what they\u2019re comfortable with. I didn\u2019t want to do a narrative story. I hope to show what Eckerd is like \u2026 and maybe the Marketing and Communications Department can use it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Super Student<\/em>, from Alex Tsoukas, is a light-hearted look at what would happen if an Eckerd student (Alex) suddenly gained superpowers: laser eyes, superspeed, flight, etc. \u201cThe film shows how the student adapts and what he does at first with these powers more than just randomly saving the day,\u201d Alex explains. \u201cThe theme has to do with not being a jerk and that anyone\u2019s life can change instantly for better or worse.\u201d Alex says his strengths as a filmmaker lie at the end of the process, instead of the beginning. \u201cI don\u2019t look at myself as a scriptwriter. I learned the process, but I still love postproduction\u2014the editing part. You can make or break a film based on postproduction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Killer\u2019s Shoebox<\/em>, from Jordan Newland, is a psychological thriller that follows a young man who finds a shoebox full of old photographs and a journal that belonged to a serial killer. \u201cThe discovery makes the young man question his own reality,\u201d Jordan explains. \u201cI enjoy the kinds of films that are both terrifying and beautiful at the same time.\u201d Like Mara, Jordan didn\u2019t start out as a film studies student. \u201cIt was a happy accident,\u201d he says. \u201cI just kept taking film studies courses and I enjoyed it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Gasoline<\/em>, from Joe Irizarry, follows a man who recently lost his lover and sees her in other people everywhere he goes. Which compels him to go on a killing spree. Joe says the movie is based on and named after the popular 2022 synth-pop song by The Weeknd (Abel Makkonen Tesfaye). \u201cThanks to everyone in the Film Studies Program, my peers and my professors, I\u2019ve been able to find my calling and passion for filmmaking,\u201d Joe says. \u201cThe ability to tell a story with just a camera is the beauty of cinema and filmmaking.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221;
