🎥 BEHIND THE SCENES | Of Sound Mind (2024) - short film inspired by Wes Anderson
Our little silly student short film, even more unserious behind the scenes. thanks for watching. our team of 5 toss around the same singular braincell until something works, and it did this time. thank you!!!!! this is the 1st proper film project (by no means professional, look at the desk lamps we sacrificed) and the very first project EVER for 3/5 of my team. but what can i say, multilingual dumptruck-owning hour-long-lunch break having media kids stay winning
song: I'll Remember You - Kui Lee, legend

When they converge, each with their own agendas (or not), they finally confront their troubled pasts. A blatant Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas / Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven / Community / Infernal Affairs ripoff, fever dream type script. Some DEBS 2004 influence somewhere. Spawned out of a 3am ...

    Duuude the intrigue, the lighting, the twists, the puns!!!! It seriously felt like I just watched an entire movie with the scale, it felt like a smaller part of a much bigger world, and months of progress, all in only 3 minutes. Somehow you got the balance of serious and funny so right, all summed up in Zahra's final line... makes it feel slightly uncanny, and so very sinister. And the colouring, very film noir/detective vibes. All the scenes being inside also gives it a very claustrophobic feel, right up until the last scene. Amazing stuff!! I've watched it 3 or 4 times now, so many little details. Can't believe you did this all in 48 hours!!
