Whiplash showing March 2
Indie Fernie Films Presents’ next feature showing on Monday, March 2 at The Arts Station is Whiplash.
Whiplash recently received an Academy Award honour with J.K. Simmons capturing Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Andrew, a promising 19-year-old drummer at a cutthroat Manhattan music conservatory, has little interest in being just a musician.
Haunted by his father’s failed writing career and plagued with the fear that mediocrity just might be genetic, Andrew dreams of greatness. Determined not to follow in his father’s footsteps, he practices daily until his hands literally bleed. The pressure of success ratchets into high gear when he is picked to join the school band led by the infamous Terence Fletcher, a brutally savage music instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student’s potential.
Under Fletcher’s ruthless direction, Andrew begins to pursue perfection at any cost—even his humanity.
