The Preppie Connection

This movie took me back in time, had me on the edge of my seat and holding my breath. The casting of this film was excellent and Thomas Mann was incredible. This will be a movie you want to watch more than once and the clips of the actual interviews at the end will show that Mann was the right man for that role. Bravo!

You won’t feel manipulated by this quiet, slow-building plot. Watch the faces as the tragedy of each person unfolds. We loved it. Great casting, too.

Cannot begin to explain how phenomenal this film is. Fantastic story, fantastic cinematography, fantastic performances. It's films like this that inspire me to make art like it someday. So happy that it is in the world and everyone should definitely give it a watch; deserves more recognition.

I loved this movie. The acting was incredible, and every single actor brought something wonderful to the story. Thomas Mann shined as the lead, but the other actors matched his level of intensity and commitment. If you enjoy films as much as I do, you will really enjoy this movie. I also love indies, and this one does them justice. I really applaud the cast and director for bringing this true story to life. GO WATCH IT!☺️☺️

Awesome movie that tells a story, based on true events, of a guy that just wants to be known and goes to great lengths for it. He is on the pursuit of acknowledgement from a smoke show blonde and appreciation of the preps of Sage Hall. He soon finds out that the pursuit for the girl might just bring his on top of the world feeling to sudden end. Amazing cast and story. I had never heard of this story, being a 90s baby, since this happened in the 80s. Its an very cool story and the movies keeps you intrigued at all times. Definitely worth the watch.

This film is the real deal. Anyone who hasn’t seen this film rush to the nearest theater that has it available or rent it through here. Unfortunately I had to discover this top notch indie through Itunes rather than on the big screen. Joseph Castelo directs in the most thrilling and personal way ever. He has the ability to not shy away from how close or far the camera has to be from the actors allowing for a greater emotion to be build around the scene based on how each character thinks acts and reacts towards a problem. This film is based on true events which makes it the more shocking as the plot unfolds. Castelo’s camera work helps the viewer engage with the story while shocking us with the facts in a perfectly paced film. Thomas Mann once again proves that he is a one of a kind actor. He has the ability to be multifaceted. From roles like Project X and now evolve even more in this film it shows how capable he can be into doing almost anything. This film is his finest yet. Talking about finest, Lucy Fry is another talent that shocks whenever she is onscreen. Her performance is nothing short of wonderful. Each line she has is conveyed in such a natural way that it seems as if she'd improvise. Not only that but through her performance she as an actress fades away and suddenly you believe her to be this character. Her acting not only increases the importance of the film, she also goes neck and neck against Thomas Mann’s performance and that truly proves that she has the acting chops to be a lead role in whatever situation that she is put in. Jessica Rothe, Logan Huffman & Robert Gorrie demonstrate that they have enough character arcs in order to turn the table and thrill the audience with their wonderful portrayals. Not only is there synergism between them, but they know enough about how their characters would feel according to a situation that they are able to convey it with pure body expressions rather than depending solely on the dialogue. These three actors/actress are ones that people should keep an eye out for because they are the real deal and I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next couple of years they get a huge lead role on a tent-pole film. Not only is the story for it being based on true events a unique and different one, its also a perfectly executed one. Props to Joseph Castelo and Ashley Rudden for conveying a truly important and underrated event in the best way possible. Its also surprising that for a film based on the 80’s the cinematography aids the film into becoming a timeless work of art for which Brett Jutkiewicz should be praised for. Finally and most importantly there can be no 80’s film without music that conveys that decade and not only does Sam Bisbee achieve that but he actually goes a step further into making it a modern take allowing the viewer to feel as if they are in the 80’s while also imagining as if the film’s events are actually from this present decade and thats a testament of how much talent there is in front and behind the camera in order for the composer to bring something old in a fresh, vibrate and electrifying new way. From the acting, camera work, cinematography to the wonderful soundtrack this film is one to praise. If you have seen the trailer then you may have high hopes for the film and I can truly say that you won’t be disappointed as it exceeds them by 100%.

Not a good movie...
