Appealing Short Makes the Grade
Then-high school junior Corey Smith's student film makes the honor roll! In this cute short, a mathematically challenged girl daydreams about her dreamboat teacher (Hugh Jackman) while preparing for an important exam. The twist ending is creative and bespeaks a bright future for the budding auteur. The script was obviously good enough to attract the participation of A-lister action/musical star Hugh Jackman--who was gracious enough to lend his time and talents--and gain the attention of MTV, which premiered it on "Total Request Live." The live audience reaction was overwhelmingly positive, and deservedly so. Smith was recognized by the New Jersey Student Film Festival for his auspicious debut. I see a Spielbergian future for this up-and-coming filmmaker!
