Brian Antonson FRAT BROTHERS OF THE KVL (2006, 97 Minutes, 16MM)
In an eerie semblance to the Duke-lacrosse date-rape scandal, an out-of-control lacrosse fraternity is at the center of a hazing prank gone too far. Guy Foreman’s first semester at Royce College is uneventful and boring. Despite his nerd roommate’s warnings, Guy pledges the outlaw off-campus lacrosse fraternity, the Knights of Valor and Leadership.
Guy’s life quickly becomes a swirl of beer-bongs, failing grades and fist-fights. His new role-models include Pig, the perpetrator of disgusting acts, Nut, collector of rare pornography, and Crusher, the enforcer of all things KVL. Guy ostracizes his old friends and even his family, as KVL becomes the absolute center of his life. The hazing and out-of-control parties become gradually more intense, until finally at the end of the year toga party, the hell week’s hazing rituals turn to the date-rape of a sorority girl.
Guy is jolted to sobriety and must transcend his status as pledge and confront the frat brothers of KVL “Frat Brothers of the KVL” was nominated for Best Screenplay Hollywood Symposium in 1999.
