Screening and Premiere of 'Dilated' at UCLA | Wednesday May 5th @ 8pm
By Tiffany Zhao and Claudia Ho
When it comes to action, often only the big shots in the biz can support it, but if all you have is a measly $10,000 budget, the odds of you making that blockbuster summer flick is rather far out of reach. FPS Productions (Film & Photography Society) at UCLA, however, took on this challenge with their short, but high-intensity action film, Dilated, and all that can be said is, WOW.
Director Brian L.Tan, who, by the way, is only 20 years old and already has a few completed films on his resumé, along with the film crew of UCLA students, didn't have professional technicians to create special effects or amazing computer graphics, nor did they have the thousands of crew members or grossly paid actors often required for making action films. Instead, all they had was 7 cameras, a small crew of 200+ people and a clear vision. It's evident after watching the trailer, that sometimes a bit of ingenuity, creativity, talent and most importantly, an ambitious passion can go a long way.
Dilated description:
Left for dead, abandoned, and confused, test subject D.I.C. cant recall anything about his past life. With a group of relentless mercenaries hot on his tail, all he knows is that they want him dead or alive. Slowly unraveling a sinister plot perpetrated by the highest levels of government, he learns that he may be the key to solving a mysterious, adverse epidemic that threatens the very fabric of society; a fact that still doesnt stop him from kicking ass and going out with a bang. —Excerpted from Dilated Official Site
With a trailer THIS amazing, be prepared to be blown away at the premiere of Dilated on Thursday May 5th, 2010 at 8pm at the Ackerman Grand Ballroom at UCLA. Admission to the premiere is FREE, on a first-come-first serve basis. It's definitely an event you can't miss!
