Derrick and Patrick are
identical twin brothers (played by Steven Molony, who also provided the script
— The
Moment After, Pinching Penny), with recent college
degrees and little in the way of career prospects. Adult slackers!
That’s the set-up for
director Kate Enge’s award-winning “dramedy,” Efficiency, which is
heading to the DVD market place on Apr. 21 courtesy of FilmWorks Entertainment.
Derrick is the dominant
of the two, while Patrick is content to follow his lead. They are affable, intelligent and
good-natured … high school became college and that is now behind them, but
being adults had yet to fully settle-in. Few plans have been made, but they are having
a good time. That’s a bit of a façade
in that there is that nagging fear … what’s next?
Derrick would love to be
a writer, but if the truth be known, he’s currently better at PlayStation games
— those great time “suckers.” Writing
is just a thing. He’s also in a relationship
with a beautiful young woman named Christine (Beth Moline, making her feature
film debut her), who would like to perfect her piano playing, but she too is
adrift.
Meanwhile, Patrick is
content to play the field. Party.
Filmmaker Kate Enge’s Efficiency
is something of an anthem to today’s current generation … educated, adrift and
untested. But as we soon learn, life
has a way of sneaking up on even those who seem not to care.
When a heartbreaking
tragedy is thrust upon Derrick and Christine their relationship will be tested,
but more importantly the bond between brothers Derrick and Patrick will come
into focus and who leads, who follows and who can be strong will turned on its
head.
Yup, life happens … especially
when you are not ready for it!!
Bonus features include a
blooper reel and commentary from director Kate Enge and writer Steven Malone,
who previously collaborated in her 2011 assemblage of short films, The
Moment After.
