The purpose of this thesis was to provide a creative outlet in exploring and honing my screenwriting craft in a way no other course at Penn State University currently offers. The result is this 43 page screenplay. Like most writers I find labels inaccurate and limiting, but forced to classify the movie that the text of this document represents, it would probably be considered a comedy-mystery-thriller. My hope is that every reader is able to find something he or she can relate to in these words, because like Tom and Richie, everyone has encountered the absurd and been forced to find ways to cope; some are just more successful than others.
