This is basically the perfect short film. It's whymsical, funny, ridiculous, and best of all, manages to tell a coherent story with no dialogue. Well done! It is criminal that the other 3 schools rejected you, but I hope you're enjoying LMU! Seriously, I've watched about 15 USC submissions, and this is easily my favorite!

[@jameskwonlee]

This is great. I didn't see the ending coming. I attended graduate film school at USC, and this is already better than some of the 1st year films. Don't let the rejections invalidate your progress--you don't even need film school to succeed in this industry, you just need to keep honing your craft and make more films.

[@czowiek9625]

Doesn't it say they got accepted though?

[@nochillnyah7787]

honestly so confused as to how this got rejected at the other schools. definitely one of the best I've seen!

[@butterllee]

BYEEE- THIS WAS SO WELL-DONE WHATTTTT

[@NeoCentral]

This was great, love the style and I genuinely laughed out loud at the end, keep it up. Did you get accepted?

[@colbyparada]

Thank you! I was accepted to Loyola Marymount and I'm super stoked to be attending next year.

[@NeoCentral]

[@chaitanyakhurana]

The story, the concept, the shooting style and the editing! It's gold, my friend! I loved it. You are amazing!

[@minhngo9011]

I can't believe the other three schools rejected you, this is way better than most of the other application shorts I've seen. If you don't mind me asking, could you please tell me your stats?

[@colbyparada]

Aw thank you! And I don't mind at all! I had a 1300 SAT, 3.96 Unweighted GPA, and a 4.17 Weighted.

[@minhngo9011]

Colby Parada Thanks my man! And good luck to you!

[@rileydermanuelian7307]

Haha this was a rollercoaster. We should make something once school's back in person

[@jaz25883]

that is so funny. I was so nervous at first and burst out laughing at the end😂😂😂😂

[@chrisjohnson8227]

I love this. I'm also a film student and was wondering how you were able to perfectly set up the lighting to create such a bright but soft and natural light.

[@playgameseveryday4175]

great job working with outside lighting and sound.

[@jwdegroot1177]
