Film graduate student Satish More can't wait for audiences to give him their take on his latest work, a short piece he calls "Open." It's been two years in the making.
His film is one of 10 that will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Sunday at the Athena Cinema on Court Street. The short films, completed during the students' second year of study in the School of Film, range from nine to 38 minutes.
"These screenings are a personification of the sheer long-term collaborative effort that goes into making a film," More said.
More's 32-minute film tells the story of Jack Donahue, a man in his 40s living in New York City whose life takes a dramatic turn when he begins to notice how simple things can have a huge impact.
More conceived the idea for his film in 2006. After seven drafts and help from fellow students and faculty, he started production in November 2007. He will complete the final touches just in time for the film's Sunday premiere.
"Filmmakers, like all artists, can be closed in their mental domains when making films," More said. "Film being a collaborative art, allows for suggestions and critique by the crew and cast during the making, but there still has to be critical feedback from all kinds of people for a director to actually mature as a filmmaker."
