The Big Finish
Fed up with their college classmates' repeated attempts to make them feel like outsiders, Gary (Gary Moreline) and Tom (Tom Woodman) stage the ultimate act of rebellion by launching a strange series of practical jokes on the last day of fall term and capturing everything they do on camera. Neil, Lea and John Heather -- three-fourths of the creative team of siblings known as the Heather Brothers -- direct this black comedy with considerable bite.
