Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

Archie Williams is a 17-year old media geek who has suddenly found himself the most talked about kid in school. He has announced that he's going to kill himself, on camera, for a class project. His classmates, parents, Sierra- the most beautiful girl in school, and a "Shady Bunch" of shrinks, doctors, pill-pushers, and counselors descend on Archie. Some are hoping to save him, some want to imitate him, others try to push him over the brink. Archie films every moment of his high school experience, hiding nothing from his audience: realities of life, death, violence, sex, drugs, and the intense media overload and hypocrisy that bombard all teenagers.

Winner of the Crystal Bear for Best Picture at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival as well as Best Picture and Best Actor at the Gen Art Festival in New York City
