Generation Why

This is an independent drama/comedy that I'm in.

The film depicts a group of disenfranchised young people fighting through the confusion and uncertainty of the time after high-school. The three leading men decide to remove themselves from all their responsibilities in order to take time to figure out who they are and what they want to do with their lives. What starts as a genuine effort to discover themselves soon becomes an unstoppable wave of apathy that sweeps up an entire generation of young people, crippling the service industry and educational institutions in the city.






We've had several very successful screenings, and the two professional reviews we've had are positive. They can be read here:

It's also on IMDb and Flixster.

The trailer can be watched on YouTube here:

Crippling the service industry? How?

Crippling educational institutions? Who cares?

Sounds like the folks I went to school with in the '60s.

Well, seeing as how education is arguably the most important part of anyone's life, pretty much determining, to a larger extent, whether or not they will have the aptitude to persist in every other endeavor they pursue, I would hope someone would care.



Meanwhile....

Good work, Michael, in completing the difficult task of making a movie. I took part in this activity recently, and it was NOT easy...at all...

Thanks a lot man. Anyway I could see your film? Were you an actor? Writer? Director?

There are two really good actors and one that is really bad. It seems forced for the bad guy. Either way looks decent, I would buy a ticket.

I played a small part in a film about the Thug-life problem with today's youth. I played some random thug that is sort of hanging out in front of a store. I interact with the main character a bit, say a couple lines, and do a funny handshake and dance with the main character. Exit screen right, and i was done.

I do have a copy of the film - it's pretty bad, and I am still torn about whether or not I should (and for that matter, can, legally) post the flick.

Good to hear. Which guy did you think seemed forced?

I'd love to see it!

Dude, I really dig this project. Seriously...it speaks to me and where I am in life currently.

I'm glad to hear that man. If you'd like to get your hands on a copy or something, PM me and I'll see what I can do.
