COUNTDOWN TO THE GALA: 11 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumor Has It...

that there is a romance developing between the leading actress of "Uplifted" and an actor starring in "Not Another Quidditch Movie"!!!!!!!!

Will they attend the premiere together????

I'm working with some anonymous sources for more information...

Best Trailer...

Goes to "Not Another Quidditch Movie"!!

Fantastic clip shot in sepia tones captures the trial and victory of Duke's Quidditch team. Congrats!

FILMS REVEALED!!

Comedy 2 - "Get it Done"

"Get it Done" follows three seniors as they struggle to complete graduation requirements. The film is a "screwball comedy" and includes running gags, outlandish characters and inside jokes about Duke. It's going to be "Pretty sweet. Guaranteed".

Parody/Satire - "Not Another Quidditch Movie"

"Not Another Quidditch Movie" is a mockumentary about the Duke Quidditch team. The film follows the team in their quest to win the Quidditch cup! Should be wicked!

Romantic Comedy - "Keeping it Classy"

"Keeping it Classy" follows two characters as their friendship grows from hate to love. Class struggle acts as the main conflict and the film utilizes the traditional "suspension of eroticism" that accompanies many romantic comedies.

Science Fiction - "BloodBourne"

"BloodBourne" is shot as a documentary as it focuses on a virus that has recently broken out. Centering around disease, the film comments on many of the realistic complications of virus contractions. EXTRAS NEEDED!

War - "Unknown Glory"

A political drama, "Unknown Glory" follows a POW and a rescue team in war times. The film is packed with action and some themes include the U.S. (typically) involving itself in global affairs as well as looking at brotherly love and commraderie.

Western - SURPRISE TITLE

Farm life, cowboys and wilderness scenes shot in the Duke forest promises an exciting and classical Western.

Youth Market - "Can I Graduate"

Awkward Todd and popular roommate Wilson struggle to complete the unofficial graduation requirements all in one night! Film draws similarities to "Superbad" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Should be a hit!
