What if fifteen minutes isn't enough?


WHAT ELSE WAS I GOING TO DO, SHOOT UP MY HIGH SCHOOL?”

Indie Movie “Profile Of A Killer” Examines Question We All Must Ask 



In the wake of Columbine, this line of dialog sent a chill down the writer's spine... because he knew it would keep happening. This was not your usual Hollywood attempt at capitalizing on topical angst and suffering. Instead it was a independent movie put together one small piece at a time to expose the disturbing trend that’s become so evident today. It has kept happening - why? Writer/director Tredwell-Owen doesn't claim to have all the answers but ventures that this is a new response to an age old dilemma - "as a teenager, you are trying to define and distinguish yourself amongst your peers - historically that peer group has been our school, neighborhood - our local community. Now, with social media, teenagers measure themselves against a global community, all trying to stand out as individuals. It begs the question - what does it take to be someone in the 21st century?" The film "Profile Of A Killer" was his conduit to exploring this question in a thought provoking manner and as critic Next Projection notes “ The most impressive element of Profile Of A Killer is it’s ability to raise the relevant questions it does without forcing opinion down the throat of its audience.”
