The Pact
Feature [Romantic black comedy]
Writer: Lee Murphy
He’s only 16 but already tired of life. He’s not a bad student, but he’s not great, either; no one really likes him, but no one hates him. On one more lonely night, he finds a chatroom on the internet for people thinking about committing suicide. There he meets her. Unlike him, she’s popular and an excellent student, but she’s finding the increasing pressure to be perfect from both friends and parents impossible to cope with. They soon meet, but as they begin to hatch their elaborate suicide pact, they also fall in love.

An eccentric black comedy with a genuinely romantic heart and ultimately upbeat take on adolescent angst that tells you life isn’t worth dying for!
