Abstract:
My creative thesis is a feature-length dark comedy screenplay. It follows the story of a college student and aspiring YouTube poet who believes that “true art is only born through pain” sets about methodically destroying his life in an effort to create true art after realizing that his life has been essentially painless. This screenplay explores societal definitions and perceptions of success and greatness while also exploring the technical usage of various storytelling devices and concepts such as point of view, flashback, and the unreliable narrator.
