well done short film

"Eyeball Eddie" has a great plot, but it is also really well done. Its a great short film, with some really great technique. The cinematography and editing, as well as lighting and set design work was really well done and very fitting. "Eyeball Eddie" is about a high school wrestler on his wrestling team, trying to find his place in the fickle high school world. Its inspiring and a "feel good" movie, but it doesn't mean it fits all of the clichés that go with typical "feel good" movies. I recommend it to anyone who has a 1/2 hr to spare and is interested in films. This was recommended to me as a really cute, well done short film, and it has lived up to its recommendation! The almost gritty quality of the film really lends itself to the high school experience - like in high school, things aren't perfect, but are often awkward and unpleasant. The ending is a bit too cliché, but tolerable in view of the whole film.
