Students show off work at Cherry Reel Film Festival
Savannah Molina | November 21After they grabbed their popcorn and drinks, students settled into their seats at the UNM Theater in the SUB for the Cherry Reel Film Festival. Just a few years ago, the event — celebrating the works of UNM film students while awarding the best in show — would have taken less than an hour. But thanks to a record amount of submissions to this year’s event — 53 total — students were able to see a more diverse slate of efforts created by their peers. The films themselves were fantastic. The emotional quality was top-notch, especially when paired with perfectly selected music. There was a wide range of films, with some providing a blend of drama and comedy.
