Shards

I never seen this movie BUT! I participated in it as an background extra in 2004 if I'm correct? This movie was filmed at the Belmont Tunnels Location near Downtown Los Angeles. And the part where I'm supposed to be in (Unless I was edited out)LOL!! Is when this guy walks in with a ghetto blaster radio =) and approaches the graffiti building and sits on the a ledge and talks to a drug dealer as the drug dealer kisses this cute chick good bye and she jumps off the ledge and fades out. Well I was in the background squatting down with sun glasses on and if the camera caught it? There is a black letter M in a yellow circle right above yours truly (smile) as this black actor walks in with the radio to go talk to the "drug dealer" in the movie and tells him how he is tired of the drug scene.

Mr. Levine's kinetic blend of styles, influences, and visuals keep this short film's narrative from being tired and clichéd. From the outset our narrator, who we think will be our hero, OD's and dies, leaving us to wonder who we follow? Levine cleverly picks it up with the conflicted but likable Walter, a low-life drug addict who laments about leaving 'the life'. And then there's the girl and her drug-dealing boyfriend who also happens to be best friends with Walter. This meth-induced love triangle wavers from tragedy to comedy then to action as Walter's life seems to be careening out of control. Like a DJ mixing tracks, Mr. Levine makes this flick pop with flash, story, and characters that has you glued to the screen until the very final image...

You can have "attributing factors," such as a pre-existing heart condition, but no human being has perished strictly from too much methamphetamine in their bloodstream.

End of Line.
