Another multiple winner at the Online Movie Awards, "George Lucas in Love" by Joe Nussbaum, parodies George Lucas' days while a student at USC. Also rounding out the top is the critically acclaimed Björk video, "All Is Full of Love" by Chris Cunningham and the edgy "Star Wars" spoof "Tripping the Rift" by co-creators Chuck Austen and Chris Moeller. Also, from France, is the computer animated, "Antebios," by Francois Baranger about a UFO which crashes on a faraway planet in addition to "More," by Oscar nominee Mark Osbourne. The film is an account of a factory worker who dreams of being an acclaimed inventor.
"Exposure" was launched on the SCI FI Channel in April 2000 as a weekly program showcasing short film. It includes interviews as well as presentations of original work from up-and-coming filmmakers utilizing new technology. The episode will air on Sunday April 1st at 11pm (EST). [Brian Brooks]
