The
Garth Method
In 2001 unemployed
actor Garth Petridis was imprisoned for one of the most unusual
crimes in Australian history.
Desperate
for success he kidnapped members of the public and forced them
to perform in a bizarre movie intended to make Garth a household
name.
He kept a
video diary of the whole process.
Upon his
release from jail he convinced filmmaker Gregory Pakis to recreate
the story of his life before his crimes and the outrageous stunts
he would pull 'method acting' to get 'sexy and tough' to win parts.
Shot on Super
16mm, The Garth Method is a combination of Garth's REAL
video diary and the re creation of his comic struggle to become
an actor that drove him to such a dangerous method of achieving
acting fame.

Garth Method is SCREENING
