Review of If There Is One Thing You Could Change...


The hopes and dreams of Montpelier High School in Vermont are here, woven tightly into this short piece. Some interviewed want to see the world, some wish to help their family, the environment, or themselves. Some want to see change, some are happy with their lives.

Choosing to blend and wrap the interviews makes this a very fast two minute piece. I was left wondering who producers Robyn Moody and Rebecca Starr interviewed and what their stories were as Cat Stevens' Tea for the Tillerman blared loudly at the end.

"If There Is One Thing You Could Change..." is like a artistically blurred photograph. That I'm left wanting more detail shouldn't discount the technical or artistic quality of the interviews and editing.
