Film Synopsis

The Most Award Winning Film of 2006 - Winner of 39 International Film Awards

Based on true events. Having recently suffered the death of his father, seventeen-year-old Andrew Eriksen's inability to cope with the loss catapults him down a path of denial, self-loathing and emotional entropy. 

Reviews/Press

A searing portrait of an out-of-control youth. Strong acting from all quarters and an especially blistering performance from Lapica.

- Variety

A powerful, personal piece of independent filmmaking... a moving and thoughtful gem.
- Reel.com

Self-Medicated is that rare treat: a really good movie!
- The Arizona Republic

It's scripted with directness and acted with honesty, it also looks and sounds gorgeous.
- The Houston Chronicle

A riveting film. If you enjoy good acting, a stirring script and a compelling and thought-provoking experience when you go to a film, this is the one for you.
- Boston Now

Lapica turns in a fierce performance as his own star. Self-Medicated is a compelling small-scale drama, and Lapica is a talent to watch.
