| Dean Tardioli stars in "The Suicide Kid" |
I haven't embarked on my filmmaking journey yet, but I can imagine one of the brightest highlights will be news of acceptance into my first film festival. I'm sure there was much rejoicing to be had when the filmmaking trio of Adrian Murray, Marcus Sullivan and Dean Tardioli received news that their film, "The Suicide Kid," had been accepted into the Macon Film Festival. A few weeks later, the film was selected by the Atlanta Film Festival. I'm thrilled that these Canadian film students have received such a warm welcome into the industry from Georgia's festival circuit first.
"The Suicide Kid" is an innovative, meticulously pieced-together feature that tells the story of an insecure college freshman entirely through his video blogs. A tough lesson in self-awareness that everyone must learn at some point (and usually in college), the film captures the emotional significance of the first year experience and winds up being more poignant than the filmmakers even intended.
