Last year, Flashpoint Academy graduated its first class. Among those to walk the stage was Michael Noens (pictured), an extremely talented young filmmaker with a really bright future ahead of him. [Click here for more production stills from Coasting]While he was attending Flashpoint, I had the pleasure of helping to promote and ultimately attend the premiere of Mike's film Off-Loop, a charming comedy about four friends trying to make their way as writers and stage actors in Chicago. I recall the film itself being genuinely enjoyable. Funny, touching, and memorable, Off-Loop was the centerpiece of a truly spectacular evening, and I was thrilled to see that our students are already starting to carve out their niches in the professional world.
This week marks the first review of Mike's newest feature film, Coasting, by The Independent Critic. I hope some of you will take a couple minutes to read this great review and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming festival screenings.
