ABOUT

Network television has new competition as drama franchise "At Wit's End" raises the character education stakes to the limit and enters the educational entertainment market directly on DVD.

High school social host Grape Juice and his girlfriend, Kristen, head the in-crowd with three-musketeers Avery, Nameless, and I.D. The two sets of taste-makers exchange focus in the blame game from episode to episode.

"At Wit's End" viewers identify with each episode's guest star antagonist before the "accident" happens and attempts at damage-control ensue.

In typical fair-weather friend fashion, Grape Juice and Kristen are the intelligent and charismatic seniors who have the skill to both organize the party and then duck responsibility for the consequences, leaving their now ex-new best friend to his or her fate. Learning the ropes from the older students are Nameless and Avery, and freshman I.D. who holds steadfastly to idealism while parting with innocence.

"At Wit's End" is an Abject Street Media production distributed by WCEE.net and is the first of three spin-offs to be released, followed by "Bait & Switch!" and "Class Action", that are based on Geoff Gray-Lee's acclaimed college senior project "The Subject of a Moment" (1985). Geoff Gray-Lee is creator and auteur.

ABOUT

SUBJECT SET: Alcohol
Part 1: "ALCOHOL AT WIT'S END"
A MODEL HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR'S OUTING TO A FRIDAY NIGHT KEGGER ENDS IN DEATH AND DESTROYED LIVES; SPECIAL GUEST STAR RUBEN "MATAI" ORIOL-RIVERA --
Model high school senior Oliver Powers (special guest star R&Bay recording artist Ruben "Matai" Oriol-Rivera) goes to a wine country kegger to make up with his girlfriend. On the way home, he ends up in a head-on collision--only to find one person dead, his future without hope, and that he has destroyed the lives of many people. When those around him learn their esteemed peer is responsible for a two-car fatality, they distance themselves in an attempt to keep their self-images safe.

REVIEWS

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"A topic that needs to be addressed in every high school health and driver's education class..."

YOUTH TODAY
"Writer-producer-director Geoff Gray-Lee transforms the workmanlike youth character-education film genre with a polished production that feels like network television. Well-cast actors playing credible multicultural characters deliver colorful dialogue. Ruben Oriol-Rivera as Oliver is particularly compelling as he reacts to his dire situation through expressive eyes and silences. Artful film techniques enhance moods and themes."
