Student films are often only interesting for students, it's true, and this would be a film that possibly proves it. As a work exploring cinematography and editing, it's very interesting. As a story, or narrative, or really much of anything, it's pretty dull. This movie is one action: a race-car driver test-driving a vehicle around a course. Lucas captures the progress of the car around with very impressive editing and sound effects (Lucas' primary influence on cinema really resides in the realm of sound, when you think about it). The pacing changes via editing effects as different events happen such as the car spinning out. Then it stops, the movie literally wraps up, and the movie's over.
