The first Narrative Short Film that I ever created. This film served as a MASSIVE learning curve for me as far as production goes, and I’m grateful to have seen it the whole way through.

Summary:

Victor Donahue (Kade Marsh) is being held against his will for questioning regarding a recent drug deal; but this isn't just an ordinary interrogation.

Victor finds himself alone with The Boss (Billy Maxwell), one of the most-wanted kingpins on the East Coast, and his sideman, Joey (Jordan Thompson). As The Boss continues to question Victor about a recent scandal, he begins to suspect him of being an undercover investigator.

As tension boils between the two, the audience is unsure of who to believe.

"Antagonize Me" takes the audience on a journey through the dark realities we tend to overlook, leading up to a most unanticipated finale.
One location. One mystery. Three men. Who will make it out alive?

Inspirations range from Scorcese's "The Departed" all the way to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs".
