Narrative Short - World Premiere
Synopsis
Extreme Me. This Darkly Comic Short film opens with a self
absorbed youth who is living in
his own world, alone except for his music. When his neighbor knocks on his door
to make a
simple and reasonable request that he turn down his music, a chain of events
unfolds in which
the main character is revealed as someone who knows no morale boundaries.
He just wants to get back to his music and will go to
extreme lengths to do so.
Indirectly and at times comically,
the film attempts to portray the effects of a culture of video
violence and isolation which leads to a bloody outcome for the innocent victims
who happen
to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
