Romance and Comedy in "The Promise"What if a promise couldn’t be broken? In this romantic comedy, we follow the lives of four best friends Tiffany, Stephanie, Melanie and Delanie as they go abroad on a trip to Italy the summer after their senior year. Tiffany is the girl who is very fashion orientated. Stephanie on the other hand is very passionate about art. Melanie’s interests include music and boy bands. Lastly, Delanie was the one out of the four girls who was always looking for love. The story begins in the small town of Simi Valley at Royal High School, and then transitions to the exuberant city of Vienna, Italy. Using the process of creative development, we will embark on a journey filled with friendship, adventure, and love. With this technique, I was able to convey a story that is strongly based on similar characters and events that have happened in my own personal life. |

Dark Comedy in the “The Tale of a Freeman”Martin Freeman is an actor. He wants to be happy. He decides to be a dog. Yes, you read that right, a dog. The fluffy kind. But he doesn’t want to act as a dog, no, no, he wants to physically become one. This existential crisis leads this stubborn man to discover if this is truly possible. What seems like a simple task turns into a fantastical adventure, from meeting a very small assassin named Yoko, to fighting beasts and other comparable creatures in order to get what he wishes for. This is about finding adventure, finding purpose, and coming to terms with the person inside in a darkly funny way. |
