Way back in late September, Duke students Stephanie Korszen '10 and Nick Wiesner '11 participated in Attack of the 50 ft. Reels, a film competition hosted by Flickr of Chapel Hill. On that rainy Saturday, the duo, along with the other event participants, was given a Super 8 camera and the goal of making an original film by 7PM that night. The budding filmmakers were given no guidelines, only that the theme of their film was "excess".
Naturally, then, Korszen and Wiesner took to the Blue Zone to capture the homecoming celebration before the Duke-NC Central game. In a recent Herald-Sun article, Korszen related that tailgate "embodied excess" in many ways. The screening carries added excitement for the two as it will be the first time viewing the work in its full, final form.
Their film, along with seven others, will screen tonight at 8 PM at Cat's Cradle in Carborro. Tailgate attire encouraged.
