Abstract:
I have wanted to write and direct my own short film since I first arrived at Ball State University four years ago. Though I have both written and directed short films since arriving, the films I wrote did not see production, and the films I directed I did not write. Stuck was a short film I wrote my sophomore year that came to fruition my final semester of college. It is about a young, recently divorced man who finds himself stuck on the toilet with no toilet paper. While there, a thief breaks into his home. Thinking the thief is his ex-wife, the man has a one-sided conversation with the thief and eventually comes to terms with the divorce and forgives his "ex-wife". Stuck is a story about growing up, moving on, and the common bond of morality all people share.
