MOLLY AND THE MASKED STORM

This student film, by high schooler Ben Kadie, shows real promise. His makes good use of backdrops and simple special effects to create a mood that places you in a different time and place. The young actors' performances are enjoyable, even if they are not too believable. It doesn't matter. The mystery storyline comes complete with magic, masks, sword fights, humor and fantasy. The script could be a little tighter, the audio recording and lighting a bit better, but overall, it's an admirable job by a young filmmaker.

Set in a spectacular Victorian world of magic and masquerades and follows the adventures of stage magician Molly Marlow as she struggles to protect the powers of Merlin from a horde of masked wind demons.
