Cody Fitz is an excellent character study about a young man who sees himself as having a life without purpose, but not overtly depressed, and being fascinated with methods of committing suicide. However, the film could have benefited from better editing. Each scene was a vignette separated from the previous scene by periods, mostly very short, of a dark screen. Some were long enough, though, to make the film appear slightly disjointed.
Nonetheless this is a landmark achievement of a feature film for 19 year old first time filmmaker Kurtis David Harder. An excellent sound track accompanied the visual and musical background was wonderfully mixed. I found myself on many occasions drifting into it. Kurtis was a pleasure to speak with on opening night and spared no effort in talking about what motivated him to make this film. Great job Kurt.
