Our Plot

Drama movies are sometimes based around important messages or they could just be a story to follow. We wanted to go the "motivational" route. I think it's necessary to portray a film that can be aspiring for people who have a dream. People may have similar assets to what they're watching on the big screen which has the ability to really inspire them.

  We don't necessarily have the entire beginning planned out, but we have an idea of it. We were actually inspired with this idea from the movie La La Land. Although La La Land is a musical, we were influenced by the storytelling aspect. This film is about a young woman who's aspiring to be an actress. We thought, why not do a similar idea with a younger character, preferably female teenager, in which she's following her dreams to be an actress. Young people our age have dreams whether it's something like entertainment, business, etc. It's important to express the message that you don't necessarily have to choose the route that you're "told" to take your entire life. Rachel, one of our group members, is in drama in high school which is another reason we decided to go with this idea. 

    Something that I'm passionate about is the fact that school isn't necessarily for everybody. Intellegent or not, some people just don't feel like school is for them and it makes people feel like something is wrong with them. I think everybody should take advantage and enroll in school, of course, I just don't think everybody has to go the college route to feel successful academically. Going the same path as everybody else around you may not be the type of reality somebody wants for themselves, depending on who it is. Making your way to fame may seem unrealistic, but it's important that you attempt to get to that standpoint if that's what you really want. Happiness is the most important aspect of life overall, so it's important to reach your expectations to experience that fulfilling feeling of happiness.
