Overdose: Death of a Punk Rocker
Directed by D.J. YarotskyJoin Brian as he tries to prove that his former best friend and punk rock band-mate's death was anything but an accident. Filled with humor, social commentary, and mystery, its script has been called "brave", "entertaining", "hilarious", and "destined to become a cult classic". In Overdose: Death of a Punk Rocker, we are introduced to Brian: former bass player/song writer for the now famous punk rock band, "The B-movie Nightmares". He currently sells guitar strings at Mr. G's guitar store in Houston, Texas. Even though he missed his big break, Brian keeps a positive outlook. Plus, it was his choice to leave the band, even though he and Brad were at one point the best of friends. It's all because Brad let Snarf into the band. Snarf is a tall, skinny, crazy junkie. There are no limits to the lows he'll go through for the latest buzz. His shenanigans to make Brian understand his addictions seem never-ending. One shenanigan in particular leads to Brian's exodus from the band. Brian was so upset that he said they could keep playing his songs. He didn't care one bit. But he never thought they'd blow up and sell 3 million copies of an album of his songs. Then the news came on TV and said Brad was dead. A heroin overdose they said. It all seemed so clichéd. Brian didn't believe it. He was going to figure out what really happened. His "investigation" leads him to Marley, Brad's former drug dealer. Brian ends up revealing the B-movie Nightmare's back-story as well as his own through his conversations with Marley. Was it a simple overdose or was there foul play? And if it was foul play, then who's to blame? Was it Snarf? What about the Korean Cowboy? A Satanic Ronald Reagan? Brian asks "just one more thing" [ala Columbo] in his quest to seek out the truth...But no one said it'd be just another leisurely Sunday murder mystery. And it certainly won't be as polite.
