I think this concept has a great deal of value, but it didn't quite hit the mark of being a Francis Ford Coppola film. It was more of a documentary, and if that were the assignment I think this would have been ranked much higher.

Still, I think your project made a lot of people feel really good. Thank you for making it.

It lacked the Coppola factor of the challenge, but I found myself profoundly moved by this project, and the thoughtfulness of the students who made it. I'm certain that it changed the lives of those people in it, but I'm also sure that those who made it were changed along the way as well.

So this is a difficult film evaluate as there really wasn't a script, and most of what occurs is a result of post production. The camera work was very weak and left the editor with much work to do (good job by the way). Music was a bit unbalanced and would like to have heard more of the natural reactions, along with the setups. Nice idea and great quote at the end.

Although this project wasn't a narrative story that followed the prompt of doing something in the style of Coppola, it made me feel better than all the other projects because it had an impact on real people that I got to see. I loved it.

This is a great idea for a PSA and the fact that it was longer which isn't always a luxury for PSA it allowed you to dive a bit deeper into the concept. It was also pretty affective and a great social experiment. As for the contest aspect, it doesn't really follow the prompt which was to do a short film and follow the filming style of Francis Ford Coppola and the film Tucker.
