Everyone has a breaking point.

A true crime filmmaker infiltrates an anonymous rage support group and convinces its head counselor to accompany him on a visit to a friend on death row.

But when the encounter inside the prison goes disastrously wrong, the counselor begins to unravel. Suddenly questioning the values he’s spent years teaching others, he finds himself confronting his own anger, identity, and capacity for violence.

Rage Bait is a neo-noir thriller about masculinity, rage, and what happens when the person teaching everyone else how to stay in control begins to lose his own.

Written and directed by Colin Charles Dale

Starring Alexander Carstoiu, Gabe Armentano, and Matthew Marcus
