OT: George Lucas Senior Thesis

[garyshell]

Long before Star Wars or even THX-1138 George Lucas was an ordinary USC film student. For his Senior thesis film he, along with 13 other film students, produced an 8-minute short film known as 1:42:08. The dialoge-free film follows racing driver Peter Brock as he takes a Lotus 23 through Willow Springs Raceway at full-throttle.

I could watch a loop of that powerslide at about 4:10 forever!!!

Thanks for the link! The powerslide alone makes it worth watching.

My 2 cents:: The film's style reminded me more of Speilberg's TV movie "Duel" than Lucas' work!
