Diabolos

Derek is just a normal American teen, doing normal teenage things—like assembling a plan to shoot up his school—and chatting with the devil. Or is he? It's Monday, and the countdown is on for him to put his plan into motion by Friday.

Director Statement

Diabolos takes a unique look at two weighty topics: school shootings and bullying. This brave, candid film explores rage and personal choices through a metaphysical angle. It’s neither pro- nor anti-gun, but still tragically relevant in today’s culture, and will spark discussion and introspection.
