wrong, sorry
quote from BLT site
quote:
The impetus of "Better Luck Tomorrow" was inspired by a rash of news stories about violence and teenagers, an issue that lately seems to pop up every other week. At the time, I worked a lot with youth in both media and sports, and I felt that if I were to take 10 credit cards and make a film, it would deal with the issues that were important to me, and to the people I knew and worked with. This question regarding similarities to the Sunny Hills case has been asked in Q&A's before. My response has always been the same: that "Better Luck Tomorrow" is not based on Stuart Tay's murder. I only know of the tragic event through newspapers and television, like everyone else. At the very beginning of the writing process, I made a conscious decision not to base it on that, or any other, real event. I didn't know the people or the details of what exactly happened, and out of respect to the people associated with the case and their families, I did not want to misrepresent them. Also, as an artist I wanted to explore and deal with issues and themes that are independent of true people and events.
