Nexus : exploring friend group dynamics through screenplay

Abstract

The most marvelously crafted screenplay in the world is nothing if casted with bland, flat characters. Group dynamics are some of the most challenging, yet most important realistic qualities a writer must capture in her screenplay. In the college environment from which I have thrived in for the last four years, the study of friends and their roles within their groups balancing their personal lives with academia has surrounded me. Nexus attempts to take a magnifying glass to a fictional, traditional college friend group and determine what lies beneath its surface.
