brief synopsis:

Phillip is thrown into a moral crisis by his friend Chuck when the two go to a party together in search of female companionship. While Chuck strikes out, Phillip seems to have luck with flirtatious Jessica. When Chuck convinces Phillip to push things further than Jessica is comfortable with, the guys abruptly leave the party, much to Phillip's embarrassment and growing sense of guilt. This is further complicated when the two stumble upon a seemingly overdosed girl, Amber. From there on the question arises: what to do with the 'body' of a girl who may be alive but is being ignored by Chuck's callousness or may be dead and keeps popping up as the voice of Phillip's ever-evaporating conscience.

a bit of the film's history:

the script was written, the players were cast, and the bulk of the shooting transpired in 2006 (with a wee bit of opening sequence shot in late 2007). the film is the first feature for most involved and as such has spent a good deal of its time in post production. a completely DIY independent film, the project has consumed almost all of its creators' spare and unpaid time. the film is due for completion in september of 2008 (a full two years after wrapping up principal photography).

screenings to be announced.
