The FP is a 2011 American independent comedy film[3] written and directed by Brandon and Jason Trost, and starring Jason Trost, Lee Valmassy, Caitlyn Folley, Art Hsu, Nick Principe, Dov Tiefenbach, and James DeBello. The film focuses on two gangs battling for control over Frazier Park ("The FP"), who settle their disputes by playing Beat-Beat Revelation, a video game similar to Dance Dance Revolution.

Jason Trost first came up with the idea when he was 16 years old, developing it into a short film starring himself, Valmassy, Principe, DeBello, Brandon Barrera, Diana Gaeta, Kris Lemche, and Torrance Haynes. Upon seeing the finished short film, Barrera suggested that Trost make a feature-length version. Gaeta, Lemche, and Haynes were replaced with Folley, Hsu, and Bryan Goddard, respectively. Principal photography took place in Frazier Park, California. Ron Trost, Brandon and Jason Trost's father, served as special effects supervisor and an executive producer of the film. His property was the primary location of filming.

The film premiered on March 13, 2011 at South by Southwest to positive reviews. After its screening at the Fantasia Festival on July 30, 2011, Drafthouse Films picked the film up for distribution. It had a limited release beginning March 16, 2012, debuting in 28 theaters, before its home release on June 29, 2012. Upon its theatrical release, the film received mixed reviews, and failed to recoup its budget of $45,000, grossing $40,557 in the United States.

Plot

In the near future, two rival gangs fight for control over Frazier Park ("The FP") by challenging each other to "Beat-Offs" in Beat-Beat Revelation, a dance-fight video game. The leader of the 245, L Dubba E, battles and defeats the leader of the 248, BTRO. BTRO dies of a 187, traumatizing his brother JTRO, and causing him to leave the FP.

One year later, KCDC, BTRO's best friend, finds JTRO working as a lumberjack. KCDC convinces JTRO that the FP needs him, as L Dubba E has taken control of the local alcohol industry and is refusing to sell to everyone. The lack of alcohol has led to an increase in methamphetamine addiction, as well as a decrease in bums, causing the disappearance of the town's ducks. Reluctantly, JTRO returns with KCDC, and meets BLT.

JTRO reconnects with Stacy, an old friend, but the two are interrupted by L Dubba E, now Stacy's boyfriend, picking her up to go to a match. JTRO goes to the same match, and Stacy drunkenly flirts with him. L Dubba E taunts JTRO, reminding him of his brother's death, before knocking him out with a baseball bat. JTRO has a dream where BTRO tells him to fight back, pushing him to challenge L Dubba E. L Dubba E rejects him, saying that he lacks street cred. L Dubba E demands that JTRO defeat Triple Decka 1K first, at which point L Dubba E will accept JTRO's challenge.

JTRO begins a grueling training process with BLT in order to get him back to his former skill level. Prior to his match with Triple Decka 1K, BLT gives JTRO his brother's dancing boots. After arriving in the 138 for the match, Triple Decka 1K tricks JTRO into drinking methamphetamine-spiked alcohol, causing him to hallucinate zombified partygoers attacking him prior to the match. JTRO manages to defeat Triple Decka 1K, despite visual impairment, before vomiting and passing out.

KCDC wakes JTRO up, having brought him back to the 248 headquarters. After JTRO's recovery, BLT takes them out shooting, where he suggests that they bring guns to JTRO's match against L Dubba E, which JTRO agrees to. Later, Stacy tells JTRO that her relationship with L Dubba E began with him spiking her drink with turpentine and raping her. She continued the relationship to supply her father with beer, in order to prevent him from turning to drugs.

JTRO continues his training with BLT. One day, JTRO hears Stacy's father assaulting her, and intervenes. After a brief fight with him, JTRO talks Stacy into leaving. Immediately after they leave her father's house, L Dubba E arrives. He bluntly states that he cheats on Stacy, but she stays with him anyway. Angered, JTRO ends their relationship.

Later that day, a badly beaten Stacy finds JTRO and tells him that she ended her relationship with L Dubba E. She admits that he was right, apologizes, and the two have sex. Meanwhile, L Dubba E tells his gang members to bring guns to the final match as well. At the event, JTRO dons BTRO's outfit, as L Dubba E taunts him. After KCDC's profanity-laced performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner", the first of three rounds begins. L Dubba E defeats JTRO in the first round, but JTRO perseveres and wins the second round. The third round, a cage match, is won by JTRO and L Dubba E is 187'd. However, he survives and attempts to kill JTRO. A long gunfight between the 248 and 245 ensues, but no one is shot.

After escaping the event, L Dubba E kidnaps Stacy. JTRO and KCDC pursue him while BLT stays behind. L Dubba E abruptly pulls into a gas station. JTRO follows, and a fight ensues. JTRO gains the upper hand and beats L Dubba E into submission. He leaves the FP in disgrace.

Freedom to buy alcohol has been restored and control of the FP has returned to the 248. JTRO and Stacy briefly remain at the gas station before going to the duck pond together.

In a post-credits scene, a duck is shown floating in Frazier Park's duck pond.

Cast

James Remar, a friend of the Trost brothers since their childhood, provided the narration for the film's introduction.

Production

  • Jason Trost – co-director, co-writer
  • Jonathan Nolan – co-director, co-writer, cinematographer
  • Christian Agypt – producer
  • Brandon Barrera – producer
  • Tyler B. Robinson – production designer
  • Sarah Trost – costume designer
  • Abe Levy – editor
  • George Holdcroft – composer

Development

Jason Trost got the idea for the film when he was 16 years old and regularly played Dance Dance Revolution. He saw "... how ridiculously into it people get," and thought of treating it "like some blood sport".[4] He made short films throughout high school, and briefly attended film school. After dropping out, he took his tuition money to fund a short film, also titled The FP. The short film was based on the original feature-length script, with only the first ten pages filmed.[5] The feature film recreated several shots from the short film.[6] Trost stated that the idea was further inspired by what they imagined a Dance Dance Revolution movie would look like if it was made by Jerry Bruckheimer.[7]

The Trost brothers asked producer Brandon Barrera to be in the short, and upon seeing their work, Barrera suggested that the brothers make it into a feature film.[8]

Writing

“[W]e were playing Dance Dance Revolution, and we were playing Def Jam[: Fight for NY], the fighting game where you're a bunch of black rappers beating the shit out of each other in bars. That [game’s] vernacular just kind of worked its way in Dance Dance, and I was like, what if we mix these two worlds?”

—Jason Trost, on the inspiration of the language used in the film[9]

The film's name comes from Frazier Park, California, where the Trosts grew up.[4] Jason Trost said that locals started referring to Frazier Park as "The FP" after The O.C. began airing.[6] He has also stated that the story of the film copies Rocky "beat for beat", and admitted that there were "near plagiarism" moments. He further compared his character to Rocky Balboa and John Rambo.[5] All of the character names were based on his friends. Much of the profanity used in the film is pulled from what costume designer Sarah Trost would hear at parties,[4] what the Trost brothers came up with on set,[10] and "80 percent of the dialogue" being based on what several Frazier Park residents frequently said.[9] Further inspiration for the dialogue came from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[11] and Def Jam: Fight for NY, both of which Jason Trost was playing alongside Dance Dance Revolution.[9]

The film's script was written around the materials that the Trosts' father, Ron, had on his property, and the low budget. Jason Trost said this was largely due to seeing several low-budget films that "try to be something they aren't" and feign production values.[5]

In the film, BTRO dies of something called a "187", a slang for murder based on California Penal Code,[12] when he is defeated in a dance off. The actual cause of death remains unexplained because the Trost brothers found it funnier when the death was ambiguous, and they believed it would remove doubts about the film being a comedy.[4]

Casting

Jason Trost (JTRO), Lee Valmassy (L Dubba E), Brandon Barrera (BTRO), and James DeBello (Beat Box Busta Bill) all reprise their roles from the original short film, while Diane Gaeata (Stacy), Kris Lemche (KCDC), and Torrance Haynes (Sugga Nigga)[13] were replaced by Caitlyn Folley, Art Hsu, and Bryan Goddard, respectively.[14] Goddard was cast as a "right of passage" for being a noteworthy resident of Frazier Park.[15] The Trost brothers asked James Remar to narrate of the film's opening, to which he agreed. The brothers met Remar on the set of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, for which their father, Ron Trost, served as the special effects supervisor.[16]

Costume design

Sean Whalen as Stacy's father. Sarah Trost designed his character to look as transsexual as possible. Whalen said that as long as he was allowed to have his left nipple exposed, he would wear anything.

Sarah Trost designed all of the costumes by herself, and got the initial influence for the costumes based on Frazier Park's local fashions.[17] She designed the individuals' costumes around various influences, including Elvis Presley, Double Dragon, Rocky,[4] Mad Max, The Warriors, 8 Mile, Escape from New York, X-Men, and the works of John Carpenter.[18] The opposing gangs' outfits were based on the uniforms of the American Civil War, with the 245's outfits representing the uniforms of the Confederate Army and the 248's outfits representing the uniform of the Union Army.[4] The flags of the different gangs were also based on the Confederacy and Union. She intentionally made the 245 look cleaner, while making the 248 appear "grittier".[18] The majority of the costumes were made from whatever materials were available, such as L Dubba E's costumes[4] which were all made from jumpsuits.[17] The boots worn in the film are snow expedition boots.[4] Most of the base clothing came from thrift stores, Sarah Trost's fabric storage, and childhood clothing the Trosts had kept.[1]

Trost focused on individual characters' costumes as well. JTRO and BTRO both wear very similar costumes, with the only noticeable difference being color inversion. Further, they both have American flag-like emblems on the back of their jackets, further enforcing the parallels of the 245 as the Union. At the end of the film, JTRO takes BTRO's outfit, which forced Trost to accommodate for the height difference between Jason Trost and Brandon Barrera, who portray JTRO and BTRO, respectively. KCDC (Art Hsu) had his wardrobe focused on ducks, based on a speech in the film in which he notes the lack of ducks in the FP. Stacy (Caitlyn Folley) and her father (Sean Whalen) are both dressed to be somewhat transsexual, though her father is more prominent. Whalen made an agreement with Trost that he would wear anything as long as his left nipple was exposed at all times. Stacy also sports an I Love New York shirt, with the "New York" covered in duct tape and "The FP" written on it in Sharpie. CC Jam's (Clifton Collins, Jr.) wardrobe was designed to be as colorful as possible in order to emulate rave culture.[18]

Filming

The majority of The FP was shot on Ron Trost's property[1][17] in Frazier Park, California.[5] Many set pieces were taken from either items he collected[1][4] or from other film sets.[8] The Trost brothers split directorial duties, with Brandon mostly dealing with visuals and Jason mostly dealing with the actors and story.[9][19]

Frazier Park, California, where The FP was filmed.

Several planned filming locations had to be abandoned due to budget constraints.[8] Specifically, the film's penultimate fight scene between JTRO and L Dubba E was originally going to be shot at Dawn's Liquor Mart, an important location in the film, for thematic reasons. The owners refused, and the location was moved to a long-abandoned Texaco gas station. Bryan Goddard, who portrays Sugga Nigga, acquired permission to film on the property.[15]

While filming a tire training scene, Jason Trost broke his ankle and had to rely on his costume's snow boots to serve as a medical boot.[4][19]

Cinematography

Director of photography Brandon Trost shot The FP using digital cinematography with Canon XH-A1 cameras, which he had recently used while filming Crank: High Voltage. Using a single-camera setup,[19] he intended to make the film look like traditional photography, specifically 35 mm film, using The Warriors and Total Recall as inspiration. Trost tended to ignore camera and lighting errors in order to keep the film looking genuine.[20]

Music

Producer Christian Agypt invited composer George Holdcroft to a screening of the film. Holdcroft, living in Chicago at the time, spent 12 hours a day composing the score, and e-mailed his compositions to the Trost brothers. In order to emulate a choir for one song, Holdcroft sang the same segment over 200 times, using different voices and melodies to achieve the desired sound. For another song, he pitch shifted his voice to make himself sound like a woman.[21]

Holdcroft had never played Dance Dance Revolution, though he was familiar with video game music, specifically the compositions of Koji Kondo, the score of Final Fantasy, and the music of early Nintendo games.[21] The film's soundtrack consists of 61 songs.[22]

Release

Tim League, the founder of Drafthouse Films, who purchased the distribution rights to The FP.

The FP premiered on March 13, 2011 at the South by Southwest Film Festival.[23] It was later screened at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal, Canada on July 30, 2011,[24][25] the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Lund, Sweden on September 22, 2011[26] the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Rolling Roadshow in Frazier Park, California on August 6, 2011,[27] the Philadelphia Film Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 3, 2011.[28] and Cinefamily in Los Angeles, California on February 25, 2012.[29] It began its limited theatrical run in the United States on March 16, 2012.[29]

Box office

The film was picked up for distribution by Drafthouse Films on August 1, 2011, one day after its premiere at Fantasia Festival. Tim League, the founder of Drafthouse Films, had seen The FP at South by Southwest, and "fell in love with it."[25][30] Against a $45,000 budget,[16] the film grossed $22,571 in 28 theaters during its opening week, averaging $806 per theater. The following week, it dropped to nine theaters and grossed $9,314. In the remaining five weeks of its run, the film grossed $7,979, for a total domestic gross of $40,557.[31]

Critical response

The film's early screenings, at South by Southwest and other film festivals, were met with positive reviews. Jordan Hoffman, writing for UGO Networks, gave it a "B+", comparing it to Black Dynamite and praising that it "is bursting with idiotic humor and in-your-face stoner wit."[32] Eric Kohn of Indiewire also gave the film a "B+", noting the references The Warriors, RoboCop, and Escape from New York, and calling it "loud, furious and recklessly funny."[33] Jacob Hall of Moviefone gave the film a positive review, praising Brandon Trost's cinematography and noting the similarities to The Road Warrior and A Clockwork Orange. He praised the film's dedication to its "absolutely ludicrous premise" and called it "the rare 'ready-made cult hit' that actually works."[34] Fred Topel of Screen Junkies predicted that the film "will be the Trosts’ calling card" and praised it for being "exactly the kind of the movie [he] hope[s] to see at Fantastic Fest, or any film festival."[35]

Many critics noted the influence of the works of John Carpenter (pictured), specifically his film Escape from New York.

Upon its theatrical release, The FP received mixed reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 48% approval rating with an average rating of 5.2/10 based on 23 reviews.[36] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, the film has a score of 48 based on 11 reviews, considered to be "mixed or average reviews".[37]

Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a positive review, calling it "deadpan hilarious, a shameless satire of every teen gang, future-shock dystopian nightmare movie - combined with a brutal send-up of 8 Mile."[38] Tom Keogh of The Seattle Times gave the film 2½ out of 4 stars, saying that it "is short on outright laughs but laced with caustic perversity" and that "it's easier to appreciate the movie's overall novelty than to find fresh humor in it."[39] Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying that it was "awash in silliness" and its "goofy heart and soul" makes it a "potential cult-movie masterpiece,"[40] and Angela Watercutter of Wired called it an "instant cult classic". She also compared it to 8 Mile, as well as Rocky and The Karate Kid.[16] Shawn Anthony Levy, writing for The Oregonian, gave the film a "B", praising its "eccentricity" and stating that "it's very hard not to admire its zealous commitment to its ethos."[41] In a mixed review, Peter Debruge of Variety praised Brandon Trost's cinematography, but reported that the film "plays its boilerplate premise with endearing earnestness, but runs thin in no time."[42] Matt Hawkins of Kotaku called it a "legit goofball comedy" and praised the fact that it "speaks to gamers without flat-out insulting them."[43] Michael Phillips, writing for the Chicago Tribune, gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, saying the film had a "funny idea" but only a "sometimes funny execution."[44]

“We didn’t make this with the idea that it was going to be a cult, midnight movie. We really wanted it to just be something that we think is funny. We always felt like it was a big inside joke, and we’re starting to realize that people are catching on to it.”

—Brandon Trost, on the reactions of South by Southwest audience members[16]

Conversely, Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club gave the film a "C+". He noted the influences of John Carpenter, The Warriors, The Road Warrior, and A Clockwork Orange, but criticized Jason Trost's performance and called the film "a junky, disposable lark, created for a midnight audience to swallow, belch, and forget about the next morning."[45] Nick Schager of Slant Magazine gave it 1½ out of 4 stars, calling it a "humorless void" and a "wannabe cult hit."[46] Eric Hynes of The Village Voice criticized that "the film's charm fades fast" and stated that "[t]he problem with paying such dogged homage to shitty movies is that integrity is best achieved by producing a shitty movie in turn. Mission accomplished, for whatever that's worth."[47] Ethan Gilsdorf of The Boston Globe gave it 1 out of 4 stars, saying that the film was "neither obliviously dreadful enough to be "so bad it's good," nor intentionally tongue-in-cheek enough to be funny."[48] Christy Lemire of the Associated Press echoed this opinion, giving it 1 out of 4 stars, and saying the film is "just plain bad -- and boring, and repetitive" and that "as comedy, it just feels numbing."[49] In a more lukewarm review, Max Nicholson of IGN stated the film "is by no means the worst thing [he's] ever seen", but that it "should have been a three-minute sketch on Funny or Die."[50] Andy Webster of the New York Times said "its bargain-basement production values and lack of wit unexpectedly prove a greater liability than an asset,"[51] while Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times criticized its characters, costumes, and dialogue, reporting that it "so desperately wants to be cultishly admired [...] that it forgets to be genuinely offbeat or funny."[52]

In response the film's criticism, Brandon Trost expressed his opinion that many audiences "don't get that it's a comedy." Jason Trost commented on the divisive nature of the film, stating that he "never heard from somebody, ‘Eh, it’s OK.’" Sarah Trost called several profanely negative online comments "funny."[16]

Home media

The FP was released on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, video on demand, and digital download on June 19, 2012 by Image Entertainment. It features a making-of featurette, interviews with costume designer Sarah Trost and composer George Holdcroft, audio commentary by the Trost brothers, and a special edition collector's booklet with an introduction by Rob Zombie, Brian Taylor, and Mark Neveldine.[53]

The film has four different special editions available for purchase on Drafthouse Films' website, all of which contain Holdcroft's soundtrack and a 720p HD digital download. The "Pussy Ass Bitch Kit" contains only these two items, the "Omega Gangsta Mode Edishun" adds a Blu-ray or DVD copy of the film, the "Knuckle Fluffin’ Watchamacallit Edishun" additionally includes a poster signed by the Trost brothers, and "Tha Delooxe Toe Up From Tha Mutha-fuckin’ Flow Up Edishun" also includes a model of L Dubba E's grill, as well as tampon in a glass tube, signed by the Trost brothers.[22]

Possible sequels

According to Jason Trost, he has planned two sequels to The FP, the first of which would involve going to Hong Kong.[7] He stated that the first sequel, tentatively titled F2P, would take place five years after the original, and would feature more dancing and a Beat-Beat Revelation tournament.[6] He further teased the possibility of a fourth film.[5]
