The New Face of Lollywood? (we have GOT to get rid of that name)

Can movies made by twenty-somethings targetted at urban teens revive a practically dead local movie industry? The young team behind The Early Days seem to think so.

The story focuses on a young freshman who comes to City University to study and bunks with the suitably wild and wacky polar opposite for some madcap adventures and come life lessons along the way. Of course, our hero will also meet the lady for whom he shall fall for at first sight at this university and obtain her affections in the end as well. While the story's not exactly unpredictable, the treatment could be. To quote the official website, "'The Early Days' is a tender and witty coming of age story...". I, along with anyone who's dreamed of having a film industry you don't have to squirm embarassedly about when someone from out of the country asks about it, will wait and watch with interest to see if the movie lives up to the hype.

Oh, and if photos on the website look familiar, it's probably because its theme has been playing regularly on IM for about a week now.
