A short film about an unlikely substitute teacher, "Il Supplente," was sort of amusing and a pretty good watch. I thought that the acting by Andrea Jublin, who played Il Supplente, was great. However, this was definitely not my favorite short film. Throughout the course, short films have become increasingly interesting to me. Making a short film is extremely difficult. I think that in some ways, short films are even harder to make than a full-length film. The directors and writers are forced to get their point across in a rapid, concise manner. I think that short films are definitely under-appreciated. I've personally gained such a greater appreciation for short films!
