Jim and the Infidels is the tragicomic final entry in John Gross' trilogy about student filmmakers (following David Cronenberg Presents Wireless Internet and the epic Ben Fries the Slaves) is perhaps the culmination of the two previous works. It tells the story of Jim (David Coleman), an impetuous film student who, with the help of his girlfriend Laura (Brooke Somers), writes and directs a series of ambitious film projects, the most substantial of which is “The Story of Molly and Joshua”. Their problem, however, is to decide upon a suitable follow-up movie after the success of that film. The one-track-minded, stimulants-addicted Jim and the sensitive, introspective Laura think of a viable concept on which to hinge their new movie. While brainstorming Laura finds herself growing apart from Jim, but at the same time is inextricably drawn to him. When Jim and his new friends investigate adapting Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a decrepit abandoned building, Laura isolates herself from Jim and the shallow world she observes around her. Meanwhile, Jim and his “infidels” discover something highly unexpected awaiting them in the abandoned building…and their unpredictable adventure begins.2008 / 109 minutes / Color / 24P / 1.85:1
