Overview
"UNDECIDED is an absurd comedy series, set in the world of college admissions, exploring whether outcasts, in an increasing categorized world, can find their own purpose. Through the lens of an admissions counselor, and outcast in his own right, the series contemplates whether the directionless can provide guidance, possibility, and hope to their community while also searching for the same. SHIMMER is a sci-fi drama series set within the toxicity of high school, examining burdgeoning [sic] adults, what defines them, and how they come to terms with their identity. The series considers the impact nature versus nuture [sic] and friends and family have on identity through the perspective of an orphaned teen with the ability to transform into anyone she touches and the tight-knit outcasts she calls friends. Both scripts comment on the power of authenticity as an individual and how everyone, in their own right, is an outcast." -- Abstract
