Wow! check out this very cool short film on perception and first impression. The film won a few awards and is beautifully edited by Chris Grant, written and directed by USC film maker Jon M. Chu, and stars and amazingly talented young man named Antoine Grant. I sure hope we will see more of this kid in the future as he is not only an amazing tap dancer, but quite an impressive natural talent judging from his understated role in this short…The film points out very clearly all the immediate assumptions we make based on appearance, and my only comment might be that when these assumptions are correct, we call it instinct. This film also points out how sometimes a clever thief will use these pre-determined stereotypes to their advantage, and how incorrect our perceptions can occasionally be.
