...Interestingly, during the most intense sequences, the camera never strays from the characters’ expressions. What’s also fascinating about these two characters is director David Slade never lets the audience decide with whom to side.

HCC’s reforms for Yardfest aim to address chronic students complaints by creating a more College-centered—rather than family-oriented—event, one that features a pop concert as its main event.
