Golf Course High Kick of Death

Running time: N/A

Cinequest's Student Short Film Competition showcases emerging film talent from campuses across the nation, resulting in a wild assortment of films. The diversity of this program, like any campus, gathers together topics and characters as varied as the students. Ranging from the sublime, lyrical story of initiation into the gangster underworld; to a character's 'coming out'; to a ten-year-old boy who gets more than he wishes for when a voyeuristic wish turns into a whole nude world, these students will mesmerize you with tales of darkness, horror and modern angst-including a very unexpected high budget looking, majestically surreal story set in a post-apocalyptic world. Whether looking for comedy, horror, animation or surreal fantasy, audiences will love this impressive group of shorts from extremely innovative student filmmakers. Reviewed by Bill Maxey
