Not quite so "awesome"
planktonrules13 July 2008
CODA is a short film about a young man in a prep school and an act of violence that shatters everything.

Technically speaking, CODA is a pretty well-made film--featuring excellent camera work, decent acting and a professional and polished look about it. In that sense, those who made it should be proud of it. However, the film isn't quite as awesome as some have said--mostly because the film never really seemed to gel. It was like they had a good idea for a film but didn't exactly know where to go with it or how to end the film. As a result, when the film was complete, I was left feeling disappointed.

If you'd like to see it, try picking up a copy of "Shorts!: Vol. 1" and then write a review. Perhaps I am missing something--you figure out for yourself if this is the case.

Props to Spirk

Saw this in an editing lab in Firenze a few months ago. Very nice. Based on the director/producer, I'd give him a 10. ;) But as for overall writing, editing, producing, etc...I give it an 8 because I want more. And everyone knows that when you reach 10, you stop. I am an honest film patron. Nice high school lit class references. It takes me back to my days in an all-boys prep school, er...i mean, uh...Keep up the good work Spirk. Over and out. PS. I do find it truly bizarre that the name of one of your actors (the only other post on here) is the same name as the main character in "Walls" ...Jonathan Lucas. Coincidence?!?!?! Freaky. Mand
