The Situation
Synopsis
In “The Situation,” a claustrophobic interrogation room becomes the stage for a battle of ideologies, a battle of wills, and where detectives and a young suspect grapple with the causes and consequences of violence. The film’s dialogue-driven narrative centers around a mass shooting, in which a gunman opened fire at a mall, killing and wounding multiple people. The detectives want to know more about Mark and his involvement, leading to a fierce confrontation. One where each character’s worldview fights for first place in the race towards what they believe, is the American Dream. This is not just a conversation, but a microcosm of American society. In the pursuit of equality, payback, perspective, and responsibility. In a world where the lines between victim, and villain, blur. And in a world where guns are toys, and where the cost of the dream, is often paid in blood.

From the Director
Director Statement
I have spent my entire life spellbound by books, movies, and music. These places held my hand, they held my heart, and I am awestruck by the tornado of stories that are circling us, every, waking, moment. The Situation was born out of my own frustration, heartache, and rage. It was born out of my own internal arguments for reasons, and sides, and answers. It was born out of my desperate need for compassion, connection, perspective, and conversation.
