Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral scenes that were filmed ended up on the cutting room floor. The news clip report of Todd's bashing that was viewed by the fraternity originally included an interview with Sam, the coffeehouse "community action patrol" activist clad in pink. The scene would have identified and established the name of the character with audiences. As it ended up, Sam is never addressed by name.
- GoofsWhen Griff leaves Pete's house at the beginning of the movie, he opens the front door in bare feet, then comes out of the front door in white socks.

Featured review
There's a gem of a script here. Clearly the filmmaker is working on a ultra low budget. Many of the supporting cast deliver their lines as if they are in a high school play -- they are painfully wooden. However the idea behind the film is an important one and the film will touch you on multiple levels. I somehow wish this script could get fine tuned and remade as a major production. I feel the film as a lot to say about the pressures of college life -- especially that of living in a frat house on a big ten campus and having to lead a double life.
Some of the material for the story appears to have been inspired by the Matthew Shepard story and the film feels extremely relevant.
In spite of the low budget nature of the film, see this picture!
