The short film we are producing will be a narrative short film. The film follows the story of college student whose life deteriorates rapidly over the course of a week. The culmination of multiple conflicts causes prospective fear, anxiety, and despair. This leads him down a path of self-destruction, causing him to have epiphanies of what could have been had he corrected his course earlier. These bring about the anticipation of life change, but the end result is left to interpretation.

An inspiration for this project was the film The Graduate (1967) - The ending scene from this movie isthe type of ending that we’d like to go for, and what is meant when we say it is left up to interpretation.The idea that a perceived victory is not necessarily the best course of action is attractive to us. Another was Mr. Nobody (2009) - This movie is the inspiration for reflecting on past mistakes and what might have been.

Each production we’ve worked on (individually and together) has been steeped in comedy, and wewanted to take a departure from the regularly scheduled programming. We’ve decided to tackle the “man vs. self” issue, as well as “man vs. the world” - more specifically the world of conflicts that arises for college students, particularly those who don't exactly put their best foot forward.
