CGiii Comment
A dismally dull, sparsely spoken hike into teen angst.
The indulgence of the director is insufferable...he has neither an inkling as to composition nor pace. And, hideously edited.
Stick to making shorts.

The(ir) Blurb...
Having joined a recently created video club, a lowly prep-school sophomore - desensitized from reality by frequently viewed Internet imagery - accidentally captures on video the final moments of admired twin senior classmates dying from poisoned drugs. Rather than galvanize the school or this lad's life in any profound or meaningful way, the tragedy causes barely a ripple in the already emotionally diminished and out-of-touch lives of everyone around.
