Utopia: The Story of the Story

So for my senior project I, by myself, made an hour long movie. This isn’t something that is physically possible, so I put a lot of the writing grunt work in during my 3rd period of self-directed writing. This story became this movie. And if you want to see the best possible version of the story, where the ideas and emotions that I was trying to convey are conveyed to the best of my ability, and where the work is the closest to my original vision for the story, then just read the story version. Watch the movie if you want to see what the end product is when a no-budget filmmaker is given a few months and tries (and tries valiantly)  to create an hour-long intellectual sci-fi…thing. You will see the learning on the screen.

So here it is, the story of Utopia.

If you would like to judge me for my screenwriting abilities, here’s a screenplay. Utopia Screenplay (Warning, that screenplay is fifty-one pages long.)

I hope you enjoy Utopia!

Hi! I write things.

Greetings, internet wanderer. I’m glad you’ve found the time to read things that I’ve written. I’m a young writer and I’ve created this site to showcase the poetry and short stories that I write. The more eyes that see my writings the better, but if you’d like to give me your opinions, suggestions, or emotions relating to the writings I post here, feel free to comment.

Someday I will write one of these. But today is more of an angsty poetry day.

I will try to create new writings consistently to post here, but life is crazy. For now, expect a massive dump of material through the summer, then a patch as dry of writings as the sands of mars, only moistened by the dew of a single strange haiku at midnight in the middle of October. Or, something else!

Happy reading!
