“No film festival would be complete without some harrowing tale about the dangers of drugs, and Rolling, a documentary style feature about eight Southern California youths caught in the throes of Ecstasy addiction, fits the bill nicely. Saleebey's camerawork is stylish, and his script is briskly paced and concise … until his characters begin their nightly descent into chemical delirium. From there, the movie carefully examines the disorienting highs that serve only as prelude to the inevitable lows.” – San Francisco Examiner

Rolling, Billy Samoa Saleebey's Award-winning drama, is a truthful and entertaining ensemble piece that explores the use of MDMA. The events occur one fateful (but energetic and emotionally open) evening in the underground Rave scene in Los Angeles. The societal cross-section includes a medical student, a teenage runaway, a lawyer, a drag queen, a high-school basketball player, a drug dealer, and a young teacher.

Saleebey coaxes great performances from talented cast, includes documentary interviews with his characters to fracture the fictional narrative, and utilizes a variety of film and video formats to broaden his stylistic palette. The result is a truly engaging portrait of the chemical search for human emotional contact. And it honestly addresses both the appeal and the inherent risk of hallucinogen-enhanced emotional relationships.
