Eventuality (2010)
Film (Short, Drama, Mystery and Thriller) Writer Every day minor and even major events take place, but all of them significant in one way or another. Some we barely acknowledge, others we ask the age old question.....why? Was it meant to be, is it an unknown force that causes these occurrences? Are we destined to live a predetermined path, our lives already written? A page in the biggest book that ever was or just a slice of random everyday life? This is just one of many stories, a voyeuristic look inside the lives of a group of friends. It was a Friday night like any other, their weekly gathering to watch and discuss their favorite films. But this night will change everything, dramatically shifting everything they ever knew. There are no second chances, no going back. This is life random, brutal....ferocious. Written by Chris Jensen-Soto
