The Achievers
The Achievers is a 2006 ensemble comedy-drama film by Asian-American director Abraham Lim about slacker roommates living in San Francisco. After one unemployed roommate named Shingo fails to pay the rent and gets an eviction notice, he devises a scheme to make Ecstasy tablets to get the rent money. This plan goes awry when another roommate, Murphy thinks the pills are allergy tablets. A third roommate, Ellen, struggles to keep her relationship with a Caucasian man and her precarious office job in this challenging period. The other two roommates are Akira, who spends her time on risky behaviour, and an Indian-American technological geek named Trent. The film's screenplay was adapted by Lim and Michael Golamco from the stage play by Golamco, which has the same name.
