"Endorphin" (2009) - A Short Film by Michael J. Sirois

Synopsis: "Derek is an undergraduate college student who is experiencing problems with his life in relation to scholastic work, social encounters and his abusive drug addiction to an imaginary narcotic known as 'slumber'--a substance that upon being taken allows its user to experience dreams and nightmares. The film follows the transition between a single day and night in Derek's life."

Winner of Best Film at Clark University Student Film Festival, $250.00 Grand Prize

This is the first time this film has been available in high quality. Thanks to me being a YouTube partner, I'm now allowed to upload videos longer than 15 minutes, which allows "Endorphin" to be uploaded entirely in one part. Before, it was uploaded as low quality on Google video and then later in two parts on my YouTube channel.

Directed, written and edited by Michael J. Sirois
Music by Kevin Johnson.
Shot with a Canon XL-2 and edited with Final Cut Pro.

I really really like this guy's acting

[MichaelSirois]

@ConvergecultBastard He hates his performance in it despite being given positive feedback. He's not comfortable with his acting roles but I think he's great. You should tell him, his name is Isaiah Bechar and his YouTube channel is "dabombaclad"

@ConvergecultBastard Not that I know of. My friend Kevin Johnson composed the score and I believe most of the sounds are from his guitar.
