PAMIRA-P

bbook:

For his final school video project, Archie announces that he’s going to film his own suicide. That’s when his life really seems to begin. In the dark, funny Archie’s Final Project, filmmaker Gabriel Sunday stars as the title character, a high-schooler so saturated with media, that he’s lost all sense of reality. Sunday spent over three years shooting and editing it, and essentially becoming Archie, himself. The result is a total mindfuck. We enter Archie’s world through a bizarre mash-up of animation, manipulated footage, 1950s-style PSAs, while following a narrative that’s as morbid as it is moving. With an enormous youth following on the internet and myriad awards to it’s name, this “self-inflicted comedy,” is blowing up. We caught up with Sunday to talk about getting the film’s proper message across, what connects him to Archie, and that “freaky David Carradine sex thing.”
