This piece is carved out of my experience in a private, pressure-cooker boarding school. It was claustrophobic and rife with substances. I often buckled under the pressure and used whatever craftiness I had to wiggle my way out of trouble. I had a trial or two, and whenever I did my friends would advocate on my behalf. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their faith in me. But the premise of this film is the subversion of my experience; what if my friends lost their faith? What if I went too far in my schemes?
