Mean People Suck

I have no idea what these people are whining about. I am an NYU student and saw the film at the GEN ART FILM FESTIVAL this past weekend. It was amazing! I guess other film students can be the biggest critics, but I really thought the short was fantastic. The writing worked. The actors were brilliant. The direction was simple. Keeping in mind it was a student film, I couldn't believe how far this guy took it. It just pains me to read about film students not supporting one another. I would go see anybody's student film and look for the good over the bad, just to support them as artists. But aside from that, if I could make a film like that, I would be more than pleased. And it seems it's done very well for the director, so he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

I attended NYU's film school and whole-heartedly agree with ThatGuamGuy. "Mean People Suck" was a much-hyped film that even received some NYU awards for writing. Upon viewing the film, it was clear that all the hype was due to it's cast. How it got an award for writing is beyond me. Maybe the script was actually good. It is difficult noticing such things when the film itself is so bad.

I've watched numerous short films either in school or on the net. And on the whole almost 90% of them are awful. But this film really held well together to make it an entertaining well contructed story. I would recommend film students to watch this film to see how a short film should be made.

Dus anyone have this film on dvd to buy thank you like eric olsan in ncis los angales found out he is in this film wood love to see it thank you

Regardless of the big name actors or Hollywood talent that Mr. Cole Weiss somehow assembled for MEAN PEOPLE SUCK, it is a perfectly executed short. It refuses to get pretentious, weird, or strange for the sake or being strange. In fact, it makes a point in 8 minutes and ends.

As a result, I have adamant respect for the filmmaker and am not surprised he's being picked up to direct his first feature. He's fully aware of the medium, and how to take an idea and work with it.

Whether you like the subject matter or not--well, that's subjective.

Still, I wish there was a few more scenes with Bev Mitchell. She is my favorite doll in the world. Nonetheless, I'll settle for Dominique "Lolita" Swain and hope that someday my short film garners me the same amount of acclaim. Maybe I can also nab Bev.
