'George Lucas in Love' is an 8 minute film written and directed by Joe Nussbaum, it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 1999 receiving great critical attention and a number of awards. The Film is a comedy and centers on a young George Lucas as a college student suffering from writers block - he encounters many familar faces which encourage and inspire him to write his Star Wars series.
The Film was director Nussbaum's 'big break' as it recieved regonition from Hollywood, eventually leading him to sign a deal with the studio Dreamworks which ultimately lead him to direct feature films such as 'American Pie: The Naked Mile' (2006) and 'Sydney White' (2007)
It is conclusive, drawing upon the example of Joe Nussbaum that directors decide to create short films to gain positive attention quickly and efficently, which utilmately propels them further into the limelight of the film industry if prosperous.
