Small Town Ecstasy
Scott is forty, the son of a preacher, and a committed raver who builds his identity around being the most open-minded, pill-popping father imaginable. He uses marijuana and Ecstasy regularly, framing the habit as a lifestyle rather than a problem, and the film follows what that choice costs the people around him. The subject is the gap between how Scott presents himself, as a laid-back, permissive parent unbothered by convention, and the strain his drug use puts on his household. Rather than staging an intervention narrative, the film simply watches Scott move through his routine of raves and getting high, then turns to his family to show the fallout: the tension, the worry, and the adjustments they make around him. It is a small, character-driven case study rather than a broad survey of drug culture, built around one man's contradictions and the people who live with them.
