I took in seven student films at the student theater at Western Connecticut State University yesterday.

There were seven short films, none longer than 20 minutes.

While sometimes students films can be a trip into pretentious psycho-babble, the ones screened yesterday were all surprisingly good.

My personal favorite was “One Night Stand,” directed by Michaelangelo Convino. It’s a funny little movie, with great opening and closing lines.
