Favorite Director Quentin Tarantino
Quote
“If I had an unlimited budget, I would certainly spend it on getting a phenomenal script. Many directors look over getting a good script ... they think that action, effects or name actors can fix a lacking story line.”

Student Evan Richardson

Film “Dine ’n’ Dash”
CMF Category Comedy
Favorite Movie “(500) Days of Summer”
Quote
“If I was able to make a movie with unlimited supplies and resources I would most likely make a drama with a realistic ending — i.e. not happily ever after because life isn’t always that way.”
Film Synopsis
When you plan your ideal date, do bombs, life threats and robberies make the cut? In “Dine ’n’ Dash,” the protagonist, Brian, is contacted by a mysterious voice that commands him to rob a car and drop the contents off, all while having a bomb strapped around his neck. Oh, and this all happens while he’s on a date, as if he wasn’t stressed enough.

Quote
“I would take lots of time to develop a really strong script and find the perfect actors and shoot a movie that I feel needs to be made. Either that or finally get the ‘Arrested Development’ movie off the ground.”
