Synopsis:

A seventeen year old media geek becomes the most talked about student in his high school after announcing plans to kill himself on camera as part of his video class' final project. Upon announcing his grim plan, Archie Williams (Gabriel Sunday) is beset by people seeking to save him, imitate him, or simply nudge him over the brink. But as the psychiatrists, doctors, counselors, and even Sierra (Brooke Nevin), the most beautiful girl in school, all attempt to gain a handle on Archie's true intentions, the one-time misfit knowingly ascends the ladder of popularity while capturing every moment of hypocrisy on camera for posterity. Is Archie truly suicidal, or is he simply fascinated by death like the rest of us, and willing to go further than most to explore the dark truths behind one of life's greatest mysteries? David Carradine and Joe Montegna co-star in a dark, romantic teen comedy featuring music by Bright Eyes, MGMT, The Pixies, EELS, Wolfmother, Daniel Johnston, Radiohead, and My Morning Jacket.

Archie Williams is a 17-year old media geek who has suddenly found himself the most talked-about kid in school. He has announced that he's going to kill himself- on camera- for a class project. His classmates, parents, Sierra- the most beautiful girl in school, and a 'Shady Bunch' of shrinks, doctors, pill-pushers, and counselors descend on Archie. Some are hoping to save him, some want to imitate him, others try to push him over the brink. Archie films every moment of his high school experience, hiding nothing from his audience: realities of life, death, violence, sex, drugs, and the intense media overload and hypocrisy that bombard all teenagers.

I'm Archibald Holden Buster Williams. Most people call me Archie. I'm obsessed with movies making my way through the world's insanity and yeah a perfect girl named Sierra. Also: I'm going to kill myself. On camera for my video class' final project. Is this a high-school publicity stunt or the only way to cope with hypocrisy and a media-overloaded ad-saturated society I'm going to find out. Welcome to my movie.
