PSYCHIC ARTS ACADEMY

This is a fun short made by middle school students. The story was a bit confusing and took two viewings for me to really understand what was going on.

The storyline follows a group of middle school students at the Psychic Arts Academy who are training how to use their powers of telepathy and telekinesis. Three kids, who haven't yet realized their powers, have been bullying the gifted kids who finally right back.

The production values are pretty good although the lighting stands out as something that comes up short. Also, although the background music is well suited, it is way too loud and often overshadows the dialogue. Last, the handheld camera work, which is used a lot, is very shaky wish is unpleasant to watch. Other than that, the audio is well recorded and it is well edited. The storyline was a bit hard to follow on the first viewing and took a subsequent viewing to make more sense of it. I love the concept of the story and there are fun things in the film such as the signs on the wall, directing the students of proper etiquette when developing their telepathic and telekinetic skills - such as "no floating desks" in the school room.

The film's message is about following rules and protocol, even when studying supernatural skills.

I give The Psychic Arts Academy 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Janet S., KIDS FIRST!

At the Psychic Arts Academy, kids train to master powers like telepathy and telekinesis--but three bullies who haven't yet discovered their own abilities torment the gifted students until the telepaths and telekinetics finally fight back.
