"A sizable audience packed Chicago’s Chopin Theatre on Wednesday, Sept. 12 for the premiere of Split Pillow’s sixth season. The non-profit motion picture production company opened with screening of “The Disappearance of Daniel Dodger,” a 75-minute feature directed by Ben Poster, Brian Fox and Thomas Horne of ad agency Leo Burnett. The film plays like a documentary examining the role a giant drug company plays in producing and distributing a narcotic that wipes people’s memories clean. “Daniel Dodger” opens with a camera crew documenting a strung out couple whose lives have been wrecked by the drug. The hole up in a hotel room until the man eventually overdoses. The film then shifts to an investigation of the drug company that is allegedly behind the wave of addictions. The camera crew investigates nightclubs, seedy apartments and back alleys, eventually landing at the headquarters of the notorious company in question. With a minimal budget to work with, the filmmakers took to the streets, called in favors, and even took roles in front of the camera. DP Ben Chappell of Chicago-based Foundation Post shot the film and also played Max, the investigative cameraman who helps document the conspiracies at the heart of the film. But when it came to performances, local actor Tom Bailey stole the show by turning in a pair of radically different performances: one as the drug-addicted victim in the first part of the film, and one as the addict’s brother, an employee at the suspicious drug company who gradually turns on his employer in the second half of the film" - Dixon Galvez Searle, Screen Magazine 9/17/07
