When one hears the term "a student film," the image that usually pops up is a rough but heartfelt cinemagraphic statement. In June 2006, no one left the AFI premier of AUTEUR with that informal definition in tact.
AUTEUR is a clever, humorous treatment of a serious subject--the piracy of artistic creations. Not only is the script tight and literate, the direction is both subtle and "slick." The editing of the film was so skilled that it was obvious that the writer, director, and editor worked as a respectful team. The film moved at an excellent clip and yet the audience did not feel overwhelmed or cheated by the pace of the story. The cast interpreted each character honestly and with subtlety.
This was an excellent film in every way! I hope the creative team plans to submit it to many film festivals. The response is bound to be as positive as it was that June evening at AFI.
