My Mother Dreams the Satan's Disciples in New York (1998)
"what a gem"
.....funny what a simple name can do,,,I recently saw a 2004 Best picture nominated film titled "Sideways" and knew I had seen the name Rex Pickett for writing credits in a film a few years back...It was for this 2000 'best live action short Oscar winner...I fell in love with this movie in its first release,,,its story line was fantastic with the perfect mixture of mother,daughter tenderness without it being corny!!
The production was first rate for a short film and it wasn't until a few yrs later that I learned it had been a student film from AFI.Producer Tamara Tiehel and director Barbra Schock deserve great praise for never letting this film slip into the "student project" genre...It's pace is perfect and the kinship between "Biker" and the Mother are first rate,,,the technical end of the film are up to snuff also....the cinematography is warm and subtle in the countryside, and hard and gritty in the inner city ex.(Scorcese's Mean Streets)..a great short film with some great laughs..
