Let's Hear It for GSU Filmmakers!
Georgia State just rocked the Atlanta Campus MovieFest, one of five international locations for "The World's Largest Student Film Festival." All of the films are five minutes long and available online. Check out this list of winners.
GSU is also the proud alma mater of the makers of Dig!, the best rock'n'roll documentary ever made. For those who haven't seen it, it's about the rivalry between two good-not-great indie bands, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols. It was the recent subject of a very entertaining tribute episode on The Gilmore Girls, featuring a cameo from Joel Gion of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, as well as Sebastian Bach, who plays a deli owner/guitarist. Their band, Hep Alien, gets their big break to perform in front of A&R scouts, but the lead singer has an epic meltdown onstage in a scene straight out of the movie.

I did not know about that episode but that is SO appropriate since Sebastian Bach has had some meltdowns of his own; my fav being when he snapped a Canadian music journalist for comparing Skid Row to Poison and he went prima-donna and declared "I'm on *@*(*'in Broadway, I don't have to listen to this..."
