Okay, so...
last year from about January-April I played a lead role in an independent film called Whodunnit. In the movie, we see five high school students pushed to the darkest point of depression over a progressively hopeless period of five days. At the end of the story, somebody will be dead…a victim of their own hand. As the days become harsher and the characters more desperate, we find ourselves guessing which of the five teens will commit suicide. Featuring music by Elliott Smith.
It caused quite the uproar with the Catholic school board, got some stories in local newspapers, and was ultimately banned from student viewing. It actually turned into an unnecessarily controversial ordeal as a result of its subject matter, but it seemed to hit hard with the limited audience it received. Finally, after several special screenings, it's gotten some bigger exposure. As a result of the shoestring budget, the audio in the opening scene is a litle murky. The rest of the film is a lot better in that respect. I'm the long-haired guy, and my character's name is Greg.
Here are the links to the film. (It's feature-length, so it had to be separated into 4 parts).
I'd love to hear feedback from anyone who gets around from watching it. Enjoy!
