CHOICE

This is a story of abuse, angst, heart-ache, self belief, and finally a choice/decision that must be made. The film is a retrospective look at the past from the film's director/writer/producer, Matt, of whom the lead character is also based. Matt (played by Rob Jenkins) will once again go face to face and relive past issues dealing with the physical and sexual abused that he was subjected to as a child. Past heart-ache and emptiness as a result of the emotional abuse dealt out by his ex-girlfriend and the final break up. To get through these trials, he has turned to using Recreation Party Drugs to escape the pain and the memories, until he come back only to find the issues that were there before, are still there now, along with the added bonus; a new addiction to the drugs. Now he has one final CHOICE to make.
Either end his current use of drugs and win his personal battle over addiction and bring conclusion to the rest of his past, and finally live a happy life. Or continue taking party drugs as a way of escaping the emotions of the past, that continue to suffocate his entire-being and leave him with nothing resolved. He has one CHOICE to make it right. What will it be? Starring Matt...Rob JENKINS

Rob J21, we are using your video for a school project on applied theatre. We have to provide background information so we were wondering if you are a student of Griffith University or a professor.

Hi,

I'm a professionally trained graduate of The Actors Workshop in Brisbane. I finished at The Workshop in 1997. Won a Best Actor Award in 2001 at the QLD New Filmmakers Awards. Played the lead role of Wayne in the feature film Undead. I have since played the lead role in a feature expected to scene at BIFF this year titled Sharkmen. I have also secured a role in a US film shooting in Sydney and will be playing a serial killer in 2 other feature films, first starting in Nov 2010

[RobJ21]

Yes weedhed420smoke you do have a choice, nobody is saying you don't, so perhaps if you had put down your pipe before writing your comment you would have understood this was simply one persons experience. But hey thanks for your ignorant comment and toke up.
