In many VFS programs, a student’s final project is their big chance to execute the skills they’ve been building up throughout an intense year of learning-by-doing. In Entertainment Business Management, it’s no different.

The following trailer is for a short feature film titled Dilemma, which was written, produced, and directed by EBM grad Basak Buyukcelen. As an ambitious final project, it pushed the limits of what can be achieved in a short time with minimal resources. To complete this project, Basak relied on the assistance of many VFS students, grads, and staff.

You can catch Basak’s film when it premieres at Vancouver’s Pacific Cinematheque on February 7, 2010 at 2:00pm. There will be a reception at 1:30pm, and the screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Basak and Dilemma‘s cast.

Update:
We’re very happy to announce that Dilemma has won the Best Short Film Award at the 2nd annual Montreal Turkish Film Week, and also the Best Student Film Award at the Ion International Film Festival in Istanbul, Turkey.

Update 2:
And the awards keep coming. Dilemma has won the Rising Star Award at the Canada International Film Festival, and is in contention in Best Student Film. Chara Berk is also nominated for Best Actor at the No Limits Student Film Festival in England.
