Overview
"THE REREAT is an hour long original dramedy pilot that dives head first into the ever enticing world of cults and how they operate, showcasing how susceptible we all are to the kind of tactics used by many infamous groups today. It explores how far curiosity can take you. The story underneath is about two friends trying to keep their sanity in pursuit of the truth, all with a little bit of humor and fun. This script is in line with a larger body of work which supports representation of unique but relatable queer characters. FIGURING IT OUT is a half-hour original comedy pilot that explores gender identity, sexuality, and trying to thrive in the world while finding yourself. This script is the product of a larger body of work which seeks to challenge the conventions of gender and sexuality with humor and personal insight. This began as an expansion of a short script written in the first semester of this program, based on a non-binary character. It was my own personal challenge to write a character using completely gender neutral pronouns, and focus on the voice." -- Abstract
