Starting with Tom Teller\u2019s sci-fi epic Icarus<\/em> today, we hope to highlight some of the best work from our students releasing online for public viewing. The film, Tom\u2019s spring 2016 undergraduate thesis, has had an incredible run on the film festival circuit. Starting with the Academy Award-Qualifying Show Me Shorts Festival in October 2016, traveling all over New Zealand (and in a unique screening, Antarctica<\/a>), ICARUS has had over a hundred screenings total across numerous cities, states, and countries all over the world.<\/p>\n

Chosen as a Leo Freedman First Cut<\/a> film here at Dodge, one of our many ways in which we showcase our students\u2019 work, the film managed to win over 10 variations on the Best Short Film awards at different festivals as well as several awards for the lead actress, Julia Farino, and the visual effects. Tom\u2019s film played both general and genre festivals proving mass appeal of the work, reaching such heights as being officially selected to the world renowned Palm Springs International ShortFest, Heartland Film Festival, and winning Best Short Film at the Sedona International Film Festival. Gerry Vazquez\u2019s sound work was also honored with the Verna Fields Student Award at the MPSE Golden Reel Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The film packs both a visual and emotional punch featuring stunning visual effects work that usually garners a reaction like \u201cis that really an undergraduate film?\u201d Indeed, it is and you might also mistake the film for coming from a filmmaking team further on in their careers for the emotional maturity and impact the main story between the mother and son displays in spades. Congratulations Tom and his whole team for their online premiere of Icarus<\/em> and we know we will be seeing their work for years to come.<\/p>\n
