The top filmmakers at Gunn have outdone themselves this year with their impeccable presentation of the annual Gunndance Film Festival. The festival ran May 31 to June 2.
Running this year's Gunndance were seniors Noel Carey, Adeline Ducker and Max Fox. "It's a good experience and a good lesson in organization, and totally worth the effort," Ducker said.
The festival featured a large variety of films spanning from "Hyphy Too," a sidesplitting original music video by seniors Devin McDaniel and Sirish Bathina and freshman Nick Loyola to "Ball of Twine," an amazing blend of professional cinematography and hard hitting drama produced and shot by junior Kaitie Macknick. "I had to rush my movie, so the plot was not as whole as it could have been, but the camera work and editing were just as I intended them to be," Macknick said.
Another standout film was a music video by senior Noel Carey. Titled "Albi: The Racist Dragon," the film was a series of hand drawn images that corresponded to a song of the same name. The funny and well-designed video showcased Carey's diverse abilities. "I look forward to Gunndance every year and am excited at all the new talent that keeps stepping forward every year," Carey said.
Possibly the most original film of the festival was "In My Roo," produced and shot by senior Heather Bui. The film included several people's rooms and showed how they connect to their personalities.
Again, Gunndance stole the show.
