GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE
From March 4 to 10, 2007 the American Library Association is celebrating the first annual TEEN TECH WEEK. This week celebrates other formats for telling a story or educating, so I decided to take a listing from the pamphlet, MIXED MEDIA:Selected Audiobooks & Films for Young Adults. MIXED MEDIA can be picked up in the Young Adult Area.
I have selected a short film called GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE. It was created in 1999 and is 8 1/2 minutes. It is a takeoff on the film “Shakespeare in Love,” which traces the “true” origins of the Star Wars saga to a young George Lucas suffering from writer’s block as he tries to complete his final screenplay for USC Film School.
To see the film go to goggle.com, select Video, and type in George Lucas in Love. It’s fun to watch even if you are not a fan of Star Wars. RECOMMENDED FOR STAR WAR FANS AND GRADES 6 AND UP.
