i got the chance to see this at the Florida Film Festival 2004, and in comparison to the other student shorts shown throughout the event, i must say that "Andy In Love" does indeed stand out, thanks to the camera work of John W. Rutland, under the direction of Aaron D. King.
the acting is decent enough, and served its purpose. The lead actor (the kid that played Andy, whatever his name is) did a great job in his role, pining for the girl down the block, wary of his mother, riding his bike and things of that nature.
This could have been expanded into something longer, perhaps taking more time to develop the budding relationship between Andy and Ariel, or expanding on the story more. However, unlike most of the other short films shown at the FFF 2004, this one didn't suck.
