Benjamin with a twist

2009 October 13

An endless stream of congratulations to our amazingly talented Eugenia Redondo Rivas (AZ/Alpha). She took 3rd place in the Dallas AICE’s contest Splice Capades. The competition gives assistant editors and/or interns the opportunity to showcase their work.

The Assignment: Select from one of the films on the list, and edit a :90  second trailer which promotes the film as a picture of a different genre. (For  instance, a comedy could be edited as a horror film or a drama as a romantic comedy.)

The screening took place on October 7, 2009 at the Granada Theater in Dallas. The winners placed with the following films:

1st place – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as a documentary about the perils of    alcohol.
2nd place – Slumdog Millionaire as Hindi-Annie
3rd place Eugenia used The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and created “El mal de ojo de Benjamin Button”; thus turning a Fantasy Drama movie into a Foreign Horror film.

ENJOY!
