Brandon Herrera - The Student Film

THE STUDENT FILM
Drama | 2022 | USA | 12 min | Digital

Two amateur filmmakers set out to craft the perfect student film, but their attempt spirals into a chaotic mashup of unoriginal clichés, outrageous plot twists, and escalating absurdity—all before discovering their story's true brilliance lies in its ridiculousness.

SYNOPSIS
John and Logan, two idealistic yet inexperienced film students, aim to write a masterpiece that captures authenticity and originality. But as they brainstorm, their ideas evolve into a hilariously exaggerated narrative featuring a boy-next-door love story, over-the-top revenge drama, and cinematic twists inspired by their idol, Quentin Tarantino. Their debates blur the line between storytelling and reality, revealing the challenges of creating art under the weight of influence and expectation.
