So, the premiere of the Duke student-produced (True Blue Productions) feature film Clearing Waters happened this Sunday in Griffith Theater. The event was a black tie affair and included a red carpet, media and photographers. The night was full of excitemnet. Not often do students come together and successfully pull off a feature-length film. Yes, there are still some editing tweaks to be made, mainly with sound effects and color correction, but the resounding consensus of the audience was , "This feels like a real movie." And it did. The acting was strong, the editing was effective and the soundtrack was specially designed to match the emotional narrative of the film. Now it will be exciting to see just how far Clearing Waters can go from here. It is already entered into a few festivals, and hopefully may begin to garner attention, if not for the film itself, then at least for the committed students working in cinematic prodction here at Duke.
