A LEVEL PROJECT REVEAL

 What's up Cambridge, last year my project was honestly kind of buns. This year I want to create something I actually like, I will be choosing to create a short film. I always wanted to make a short film and this seems like a perfect opportunity for it. This year the film is 5 minutes which is longer than the 2 minutes we had to make last year. This means I will need to make a longer script. 

Honestly I thought of my idea for this project when I was watching the Wolf of Wall Street. I did not really like the movie, but it made me realize that rich people are often terrible people and got rich for various interesting ways. I want my short film to be based on a man that works a regular office job, his life will be very repetitive, he is going to be a single man who just goes to work and comes back with a boring life. This schedule is going to keep repeating until he is sick of it, like he will get more annoyed every day. Then he will start being kind an asshole. He will start drinking and start doing drugs. He will start not going into work and he gets fired. He will get so sick of his life that is will try to kill himself. 

I dont want to have a happy ending. I feel like movies always have happy endings and there is not enough movies that have a problem that does not get solved. I want to create a story where his life seems bad but it keeps getting worse and he sees people doing better but turns to drugs instead of trying to fix his life which happens to alot of people and I dont think it is represented often.
