	Interview with Rachel Lucas, In Film Australia
		Lucas has dabbled with film and video production -- mainly music video clips -- for the last twelves years and only now, during the last two months, she is getting some of the attention she deserves.
		Infused with Lucas' MTV style sensibilities, the film is a hallucinogenic sensory experience, a colourful concoction of audio and visual delights stapled into one bustling piece of work destined to become an Australian cult classic.
		Lucas attributes that to the DIY emblem that Bondi Tsunami proudly touts.

		Lucas and his contemporaries came of age in the 1960s vowing to explode the complacency of the old Hollywood by abandoning traditional formulas for a new kind of filmmaking based on handheld cinematography and radically expressive use of graphics, animation, and sound.
		Lucas' friends observe that he seems happier with this film, which he's been showing off proudly for months in rough-cut form at the ranch.
		The popular myth of Lucas' life is that he grew up as the son of a conservative businessman in Modesto, California, and became obsessed with car racing until his teenage dreams of being a professional driver were cut short in 1962 by a near-fatal accident.

		George Lucas was the key figure behind the American film industry's evolution (or, according to most critics, de-evolution) from cinema to spectacle during the late '70s.
		The film from Lucas (an ex-USC film student and intern at Warner Bros.) was almost not made when every studio in Hollywood refused it, except for Universal.
		The film was Lucas' homage to the memories of his own teenage years in Modesto, California, remembered with vintage cars and dragsters, drive-ins (Mel's), an almost non-stop rock soundtrack, teenage activities (hot rod crusin' and makin' out), and characteristic hair and clothing styles.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THX 1138 (THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut) movie by George Lucas with Robert Duvall, ...
		As the first film to be produced by his newly-founded American Zoetrope studio, Francis Ford Coppola would provide financial support for Lucas to make this film, with further backing from Warner Brothers.
		To his credit, Lucas and co-screenwriter / sound designer Walter Murch dispense with clumsy expository devices and leave the viewer to pick up the threads of the plot, threads often obscured by grainy video images and buried in an endless buzz of technical jargon and futurespeak terms.
		Lucas should stop trying to preserve history by — to borrow a concept from another dystopian vision, "1984" — constantly rewriting it.

	THX 1138 - THE GEORGE LUCAS DIRECTOR'S CUT - (TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION) DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		THX 1138 is the only film George Lucas ever wrote and directed that will and should be remembered as a mostly artistic triumph rather than a largely financial one (recalling that the best of his Star Wars films, The Empire Strikes Back, was neither written nor directed by Lucas).
		The tragedy of it is that Lucas' constant tampering with his own legacy suggests a more deep-seated anxiety: the tinkerer's instinct to fiddle with something obsessively until it's broken and then decry the workmanship.
		What causes me to reassess Lucas, to reserve a little sympathy for him, is what appears to be his genuine ignorance about the damage that he's doing to a legacy he all but disdains, as well as his love of the avant-garde and Godard's cinema of motion.

		Their short film is generating a lot of interest at studios and talent agencies and they've been "taking meetings" ever since the piece has been completed.
		Lucas is incredibly supportive of student filmmakers and developing their careers and providing facilities for them to be caught up to technology."
		The basic idea for this parody is that Lucas, played by Martin Hynes, is once again a student at the University of Southern California's School of Cinema back in 1967, and he's suffering from writer's block as he tries to write a movie about a young space farmer with a bad crop of space wheat.

		Before young Lucas became obsessed with the movie camera, he wanted to be a race car driver, but a near fatal accident in his souped-up Fiat just days before his high school graduation quickly changed his mind.
		Released in 1973, the film featured such burgeoning young talents as Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, and Harrison Ford, and was recognized as a stunning portrait of listless American youth in 1962—depicting, in Lucas’ own words, “a warm, secure, uninvolved life.” The film, made for only $780,000, grossed $50 million in the box office.
		Now that Lucas had won back the confidence of his supporters, he set out to make a children’s Saturday morning serial that would be part fairy tale, part Flash Gordon, and complete fantasy and adventure set in the imaginary frontier of outer space.
