I recently watched the newly released director's cut of 'THX 1138' on DVD, a very fine edition.
Included in the 'extras' is this original student project.
It is obvious, watching it, that untrained actors are used, and set props are minimal.
It is the same story as the feature movie, only 'bare bones' at 15 minutes and with student actors.
Still, it showed Lucas' potential, and is interesting in that respect.
'THX 1138' is a superior movie in every respect.
It is always interesting to see student projects from current directors. While it rarely gives us insight into their technique, it is interesting to witness the growth.
