FILM SYNOPSIS
A film by Jay Craven (1999)
Based on a script written collectively by forty-one Vermont teens
Starring Bill Raymond, Rusty DeWees, Tantoo Cardinal, John Griesmer, and an ensemble of teen actors.
IN JEST tells the story of a gaggle of small-town teens scrambling against all odds to stage their “bizotic” school play, which advocates vegetarianism through its “mild” theme of cannibalism. Around the bend, adult mentors navigate their respective mid-life crises, hunt a suspected horde of invading skunks, and prepare for a crucial school bond vote that may well determine the future of not only the school, but the town itself.
