The director and star of the film summed it up best: "It's the story of everything leading up to the point where they're immediately and forever portrayed as monsters."
Matt and Owen are picked on. By everyone. They escape into the world of cinema, making films for their multimedia class. Their latest, The Dirties, is a police drama, where they hunt down and punish bullies for their crimes. As the bullying gets worse and their friendship suffers, Matt decides to film a remake...
The camera man is really distracting. Someone - two people actually - follow Matt and Owen around and film everything, but these characters are never seen, never say a word, and only occasionally referenced. In the Q&A Matthew says he originally wrote characters for them ("Jared"), but ended up cutting it as it distracted from the plot. Meh.
The Dirties
2013, 80 minutes, directed by Matthew Johnson
Yes, this was actually filmed in a high school, using high school students as extras, and most of the time the kids didn't even know they were on film. But it was in Canada, where they're less crazy about these sorts of things.
