    The Cinematic Schematic kicks off The Cinematropolis’s exclusive deadCenter 2023 Film Festival coverage with a look at Kyle Roberts’s return to feature filmmaking, What Rhymes with Reason.

    Since The Posthuman Project was released in 2014, Reckless Abandonment Pictures has focused on stop-motion projects, collaborations with Nickelodeon, and short films like The Grave. After nine years, Roberts is finally ready to reveal the fruits of his long-gestating passion project, What Rhymes with Reason, a story about friendship, adventure, and confronting the challenges of mental health amongst teens. The film assembles an impressive young cast including Gattlin Griffith(The Boys), Ricardo Hurtado(Ron’s Gone Wrong), and Giselle Torres(Disney’s The Villians of the Valley) in an 80s/90s Goonies-style adventure featuring treasure hunts, musical numbers, and an examination of trauma and depression experienced by high schoolers from a Christian perspective.

    Roberts, Torres, and the film’s composer, Nikolas Thompson, sit down with host Caleb Masters to discuss their approach to making a teen drama that earns the right to be heard by their audience through the film’s score and licensed music.

    Tune in to hear two tracks pulled directly from the movie exclusively for the podcast. Don’t miss the world premiere at deadCenter on Thursday, June 8th.
