THE PAN AMERICAN
Student,Faculty Films Presented in Festival

By LUIS E. SAAVEDRA
The Pan American

Korean director Young Man
Kang had a similar experience to
Saavedra’s while filming “Cupid’s
Mistake.” For its production, Kang worked
with a budget of barely $1,000.
“I want to be a World Guinness Record
holder as a filmmaker,” he said in an e-mail
interview.
Because the record holder for the highest
budget in film making is “Titanic,” Kang set
up to do the opposite. And he accomplished
it. “Cupid’s Mistake” recently made it to the
Guinness World Record for the least
expensive feature film.
Even more exciting than filming on a low
budget was working without a script.
“I gave the actors the basic idea,” he said.
“That’s why they look so natural in the film
because 100 percent of their acting is
improvised.”
From carefully planned film productions
risky adventurous projects, UTPA students
and faculty had the opportunity to enjoy a
variety of films during Independent Film
Week.
“It’s a shame that we hadn’t seen these
type of events before,” Saavedra said. “But
I’m glad to see they are starting to have them
more often.”
