Thesis Title:

The Cusp: Web Series Production

Caroline Maguire

The Cusp is a three-episode comedy web series that explores identity in young adulthood. Specifically, generational identity for people who lack a generation known as Cuspers, considered too young for Millennial status but too old for Gen Z. Told through the narrative of two best friends in their senior year of college, main characters Pat and Chris find themselves in an especially confusing place as their doubt and fear about their impending adulthood is compounded by their confusion over which generation they should align with. The Cusp aims to be a voice for the nonexistent generation.
