Synopsis: Director Stefan Lysenko gathers together a diverse and talented ensemble cast for his sophomore directorial effort. Lensed by Cinematographer Jaron Presant (AUDIOSLAVE, SNOOP DOG, BILLY CORGAN,) “Fishes” tells the story of a group of people caught in a fishbowl, their lives and their secrets revealed, thanks to a simple party game.
Struggling actor Tom Dowtin (BIG BROTHER ALL-STARS’ Mike “Boogie” Malin,) is as sarcastic and high-strung as his best friend, Claire, is cheerful and charming.
On the night that is supposed to be Tom’s big break, (hosting a studio game show pilot,) an increasingly violent rainstorm hits Los Angeles.
While the storm brews outside, Tom, Claire and a few of their friends meet before the show at his place high in the Hollywood Hills. But when they try to make their way to the studio, they discover that the only road down the mountain has been shutdown by the storm. Left with no other options, they retreat back to Tom’s place to wait out the storm.
Besides Tom and Claire, our castaways include the flamboyant Deck, the nerdy Po, and Goth Chick, Alex. Throughout the night, the group grows to include an older couple from next door, and a “paparazzi” seeking shelter, among others.
With no way of getting to the studio, Tom’s hopes of stardom are dashed. The ever-supportive Claire tries to cheer him up by having the group play their own game show, “Act As If.” It’s a drinking game much like “Truth or Dare,” minus the “dare.”
With Tom as the host and with the alcohol flowing, the questions get more personal and the stakes get higher. Tom takes a sadistic joy in asking questions of Claire, in particular, that cut a little too close to the bone. When the game reaches an explosive conclusion, the only question the group has left to answer is: Now that their secrets are out, what will it mean for them when the storm passes?
