 Film School Confidential chronicles five film students over the course of one school year: Sara, an intellectual, Sal, who makes an earnest first film, Mark, who shoots wild, psychedelic images, Greg, who works hard at cinematography, and Marta, Sara s quiet freshman roommate. It is Marta s simple video that proves to be the most compelling, triggering a series of events that effects all five students and forces them to re-evaluate their own belief in the power of motion pictures.
