Zero Day
Short description
Zero Day follows two suburban teenagers, Cal Gabriel and Andre Kreigman, who document their daily lives on camera as they prepare for an attack on their high school. The pair record video diaries in which they describe their feelings, their grievances and the steps they take toward carrying out their plan, building toward a violent reckoning with the classmates and school they believe have wronged them.
Ben Coccio directed and co-wrote the film with Christopher Coccio; Barney Oldfield and Coccio produced it for Professor Bright Films. Cal Robertson plays Cal Gabriel and Andre Keuck plays Andre Kreigman, with a credited cast of 21 that also includes Serataren Adragna, Melissa Banks, Joshua Bednarsky and Rachel Benichak. The 92-minute crime drama was released in September 2003 and presents itself as found footage assembled from the boys' own recordings.
On IMDb the film holds a 7.2 rating from roughly 5,700 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 7.5 from around 110 votes. A critics' rating of 7 out of 10 from 41 reviews places critical reception broadly in line with the audience response.
What's left behind the scenes
- The party scene was filmed in Albany, New York, during an actual party where many of the guests were unaware of the filming. The location was the director's brother's actual apartment, who plays Chris in the film.
- The parents of Andre Koike and Calvin Robertson were played by their actual parents. Director Ben Coscia wanted the film to be as realistic and believable as possible.
