Alex's story: a weekend in the life of a Las Madres hipster and his best friend Jamie, as they get into trouble with a stolen car, a bottle of tequila, a broken tattoo-gun, and the psycho ex-girlfriend. No good deed goes unpunished, and Alex won't get away without paying his pound of flesh. THIS IS A SCREENPLAY-FORMATTED DOCUMENT. Character-driven black comedy about the Average Man's frustrations and how he deals with them--by not dealing with them."To me it reads like "Kids" meets 90's slacker comedy/Superbad with a fun sprinkling of Genet (City of Lost Children, Amelie) style peripheral effects.
The extra details (tequila worm taking a bite of pulp, character reincorporation, day dream sequences, etc) are a great aesthetic element that adds nicely to the story telling. Additionally, the dialogue has solid pacing and moves along at a nice clip." - C. M. 'Spike' Daeley
