Acid Test

A Short Film

ABOUT THE FILM

Solomon is a dedicated academic. Tough but fair.  Shrewd yet patient. The cooler head looking for compromise. As a firm believer in the American education system, he is committed to making the best of a bad situation. So, when one of his students accuses another of cheating on the mid-term RTTI, an exam designed to measure "hardship," his skills as an administrator are put to the test.

EQUIVALENCE

Originally written as a short story, 'Acid Test' began with a singular and overriding question at its heart:

“How does one measure suffering?”

Presuming anything like that could even be quantified, the “what-if” at the heart of our film is at once serious and absurd, its implications ominous and ridiculous.
