Cost of production: USD 29,181.00. Awards: Entered in the Academys Short Film contest 1993. It did not earn a nomination. Synopsis: It's been a while since high school graduation, and the old teenage friendship between Jack, Bobby and Alex is already growing strained when they leave the Salton Sea and head off into the desert on an overnight dirt bike excursion. Jack and Bobby quickly decide that the heat, the cactus and Alex's arrogance are not their idea of fun, but they try to make the best of things. Then Bobby, delayed by problems with one of Alex's junky old bikes, has to swerve to avoid hitting a Mexican illegal, dying of a gunshot wound, sprawled in the path. Suddenly sunburns and sore butts are the least of their worries. The dead man's friends arrive, brandishing knives and tire irons. Alex takes off, abandoning Jack and Bobby, the Mexicans in hot pursuit. Then Jack and Bobby stumble on the rednecks who killed the Mexican, Chuck and Eddie. Things take an even deadlier turn as Eddie makes his second kill of the day: a panicked Alex with Jack and Bobby as witnesses. Special thanks to: Brian Kane, Don Stanwood, Dan Bates, Maxine O'Callaghan, Shawn Green and Don Earl.
