PLAY IT AGAIN: Greatest Hits by UA Filmmakers
The second annual Play It Again collection of short films from the UA School of Theatre, Film & Television will screen in this year's Loft Film Festival. Selected from works completed in the past several years, the program samples student shorts ranging from sci-fi, fantasy, comedy and music video to documentary, dramatic narrative and musical satire. It’s a tantalizing smorgasbord of fresh visions by emerging filmmakers.
The program includes sci-fi satire ANIMAL AUTOMATON (2003), a 21st century take on the Frankenstein story, co-directed by alumni Tyler Gillett and Derekh Froude. Gillett's critically acclaimed horror film V/H/S, produced collaboratively by the group Radio Silence, which includes fellow UA alum Justin Martinez, premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, and screened at the Loft Cinema in October.
Play It Again 2012 was juried by Victoria Lucas, independent producer and former studio executive, and Vicky Westover, director of the UA Hanson Film Institute and film programmer.
