Quotes:
Older Lily: Do you know how a photograph is made? The camera takes in the light through the lens, the aperture opens, and the focused light slices into the camera, embedding the image forever onto the film. The film is developed, and the images are resurrected with chemicals.

Older Lily: Do you know how a photograph is really made?
Assistant: You just said, the aperture opens and…
Older Lily: A photograph is made in the mind of the photographer. He points his paintbrush and captures a moment, a temporal thief, he stops the clock for that one instant, and stores it in his camera.

Acting: Spectacular, Directing Superior, Overall: Unbelievably Well Done, 11 September 2004
9/10

I went to see Beauty in Chaos last night at the Civic Arts Plaza near where I live not expecting that much, considering it was filmed in my area and the fact the film makers were practically my age (14), but I was very surprised with how well written and directed it was. They did an amazing job with introducing the characters and showing their true personality. The acting by Alex Carpenter, Travis Munoz, and Lily Behm were really astounding, but I was extremely happy with the cinematography, which was done by Brian Hahn, and the direction from Brandon Nicholas. After the movie, I had a small chat with Brandon and he gave me a great quote: "Keep filming, no matter what you encounter in the process". I definitely recommend for you to see this movie if you have the chance. 9/10
