The film was also winner of the gold medal at the 2010 Student Academy Awards; special jury recognition at Aspen ShortsFest; as well as first prize and the King Award for Screenwriting at the NYU First Run Film Festival.

Patrick's Hair > Luke's Hair

[NationalFilmSociety]

@HoserIN That's a slightly controversial pick, especially since Luke's hair is world famous. But we're not saying we disagree.

0:54 "...like a good one?" made me laugh out loud. :-D

[NationalFilmSociety]

@BinaryCafe That's probably one of the more under-appreciated parts of the video. Glad you got a kick out of it!
