imdb_id=0452620 |Filmic Achievement is a mock-umentary film by Kevin Kerwin and Authentic Films. The film takes a humorous look at film school.
According to the official website of the film,

UNY Film School is an intensive, selective program located in the heart of New York City. Each year, UNY awards one student the coveted Filmic Achievement Award. Buck Felty, Dean and Screenwriting professor, approached Kevin Kerwin to document the selection process for the award. Kerwin was given an all-access pass to the school and was able to examine the workings of the program at UNY: the instruction, the work, the competition, and the selection of the winner. The result is Filmic Achievement, a revealing look at film school and the equally misunderstood and passionate filmmakers of tomorrow.
According to Brian A Kovach on IMDB,
A "This is Spinal Tap" for the world of film schools, this mockumentary follows the careers of 7 film school students from their first day of film class at UNY (whose graduates work "here to Kentucky.")until one is chosen as the winner of the school's Filmic Achievement Award. We meet Delvo Christian, who desperately wishes hew were French and has 400.000 feet of undeveloped film 'gestating" in grocery bags in his apartment. In his mother's basement we meet Mike Pack who worships Quentin Tarantino but whose mother may be the real director in the family. Those are just 2 of the students overseen by faculty like Buck Felty, who becomes a little too excited by his students' film pitches, and Selway Cascade who insists that she left her ego back in her apartment and who listens to student input because, well, she is obligated to. The stereotypes are drawn broadly and the situations are absurd yet the characters and script are [frighteningly] believable. WORLD PREMIERE 29th Annual Cleveland International Film Festival.
