Relative Obscurity
90mn, Jeff Rosenberg, John Swartz,
Par-T-Com Productions, LLC

Early September, 2001. Freshmen throughout the country, exhilarated by their newfound independence, embraced life away from home. Actions bore no consequence; life was good. Now, three years later, seven students struggle to find their individuality amidst an apathetic and isolated generation. As they drift in and out of each others' lives, they fight to discover their calling as they build and break the relationships that have defined who they are.When nothing is safe, they must learn to accept the help of others if they are to ever truly rise from relative obscurity.
