The Village Voice calls Unicorns a "confident feature debut"

I Believe in Unicorns, the class project for the November/December 2011 and July/August 2012 six-week classes, just got a great review from Village Voice critic Alan Scherstuhl:

The performances are strong, the imaginary visions are suggestive and fleeting, and the film as a whole is swoony, tender, skittish, a little scary — in short, this is what young love feels like. More Meyerhoff, please!

The film was edited by alums Rebecca Laks and Michael Taylor. Read more here. The film is playing at the IFC Center in New York.

Meanwhile, David France's How to Survive a Plague, which was edited by TEC alum Tyler Walk, received a nomination in the Gotham Awards' Best Documentary category. The film follows two coalitions--ACT UP and TAG--whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition.
