Thesis Title:
Flaw List: A Feature-Length Screenplay
"Afraid of graduating high school without ever having a boyfriend, a senior pursues her long-time crush on the lead actor of the musical with the help of the misfit stage crew."
This is the logline for "Flaw List," my first feature-length screenplay and my Honors Thesis project. There are many films about high school plays, but I've never seen one from the perspective of stage crew. As a former stage crew member myself, I wanted to tell a story about this world and about the value of finding one's community in unlikely places.
I'd like to thank my friends and family, my advisor Ben Frahm, my reader Keith Giglio, and the Renée Crown University Honors Program for their support.
I've recently entered "Flaw List" into several screenwriting competitions and hope to use it as a writing sample in the future, so the script is not available here.
