"...one of the most intelligent looks at teen violence since Lord of the Flies..." Stephen H. Segal in Pittsburgh From View Askew Productions (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma) and Executive Producers Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier (Good Will Hunting) comes first-time director Vincent Periera's "Edgy teen thriller" (Filmmaker Magazine). Barret Michaelson (Robert DiPatri) is having a bad first day at his new high school - he is badgered, ridiculed, and nearly beaten up. He finds an unlikely ally in local loner Ryan Walker (Eion Bailey, Almost Famous and Fight Club), an intelligent but misanthropic youth with a dark family past. A friendship quickly develops, but Barret begins to worry as Ryan's philosophical ranting turns increasingly violent. When Barret does the unthinkable and makes peace with the local teenagers Ryan so despises, Ryan loses all control and attempts to drag Barret down into his world of hatred and destruction and Barret must find a way to escape… A harrowing depiction of teen violence and rage, A Better Place has been called "a bracing, disturbing film with an underlying humanity" (Stephen Gallagher, The Hamptons International Film Festival) and "Sharply written, with stellar performances… A Better Place deals frankly with the dark side of the American teenage experience" (Mitch Davis, Fantasia Film Festival)! Features: Special Introduction by View Askew Executive Producers Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier
