OUR LAST DAY AS KIDS
The story of a punk teen and his relationship with his older brothers as he documents their band falling apart.
Our Last Day As Kids is a coming-of-age short film that takes place in the mid 2000's MySpace era. The film follows Casey, an awkward teen who documents his older brothers' band with his lofi camcorder in an attempt to be a part of the art they're making. As the film progresses, we watch the band and the connection Casey shares with his brothers fall apart, leaving him with a sense of loss and a lack of purpose. It is an unlikely friendship with a reckless punk girl that helps him cope and break out of his shell, as he helps her break out of hers.
The film takes inspiration from director Dylan Hryciuk's real life experiences documenting the local scene and his brothers' metalcore band, "Palms To The Sky" between 2006-2013 and is an ode to his youth, his brothers, and all the people that made the local scene what it was.
The MySpace era of 2005-2010 was extremely significant to so many teens across the globe. Punk, metal, hardcore and emo shows were prevalent anywhere that could house a small P.A. system, a couple of guitar amps, a drum kit and a small crowd.
This “scene” was a safe haven for outcasts, introverts and anyone who needed a place to call their own during their tumultuous youth. It was in these small venues that you could find loud music and even louder haircuts. The youth would define their personalities by their MySpace pages and commit themselves to artists that would travel the country in vans to make barely enough money to fill their gas tanks to get home.
This specific time has yet to be presented through film and it represents a very personal moment for many people, which can be seen with the current resurgence of punk and emo. It is because of all of this, that there is a need for us to tell this story and give voices to a diverse and eclectic group of outcasts; both in front and behind the camera. This short film will authentically represent the various personalities, landmarks and real life experiences in which this story is based upon.

LYRICS
We are failing in crisis mode
Mutually assured destruction
Love the proxy and burn the bones
So I smile in the snare of devotion
I hope you find what you’re fighting for
I am happier when I hurt you
Your medicine is the coldest war
I am happier when I hurt you
You just keep on building the tension
I want to escalate out of this stasis
But you just keep on building the tension
I want to escalate into the grave
I hope you find what you’re fighting for
I am happier when I hurt you
Your medicine is the coldest war
I am happier when I hurt you
So hold me to the grave
That’s where you carved my name
I hope you find what you’re fighting for
I am happier when I hurt you
Pre-emptive
Bitter end
Perfect fit
Dysfunction
I have learned to love the embrace in this mutually assured destruction
It’s the crux of the coldest war
I hope you find what you’re fighting for
I am happier when I hurt you
Your medicine is the coldest war
I am happier when I hurt you
So hold me to the grave
That’s where you carved my name
I hope you find what you’re fighting for
I am happier when I hurt you
