It's not very common that students get to take part in a feature film, let alone make one themselves. Roughly a year ago, John Condne approached Kris Rey-Talley and me about doing a possible feature film. Now, a year later, here we are. I wrote the scrip and now we've raised near $30,000 , we've assembled a great cast through various auditions, and the film is going to end shooting around labor day.
The Story:
The story revolves around the most conflicted drug dealer you'll ever meet. Bad ass enough to light a guy's hands on fire for not paying his debt, but sweet enought to deal drugs to keep his little sister in school. This is Jimmy. Jimmy wants out, but knows he can never leave the life if he wants to continue to support his family after the death of his father. His mother is a drug addict (one of his customers, even). The film opens with Jimmy's death, and then starts at the beginning, and explains how it happened. The explanation includes drugs, violence, sex, love, blood, and what Jimmy called "kryptonite."
