Non-Dialogue
The USC School of Cinema-Television’s inaugural production class, known by the course number “290”, requires students to make numerous films over the course of a semester without sync dialogue.
For these four non-sync dialogue short films – First Impressions, Vanity, Filler and An American in Traffic – shot and edited on Super 8mm film, Kurt Kuenne was awarded the Harold Lloyd Scholarship in Film Editing by the family of the iconic silent film comedian.
