My first intention is to create drama through the conflict of the main character’s inability to remember her own life including her friends and family. My second intention is to create a satisfying ending through the conflict being solved through the help of her family and friends. My third intention is to create nostalgia through the use of home movies to help the main character remember her life.

A girl who was diagnosed with brain cancer and undergoes surgery shares her story through a video online. Although her surgery was a success, due to the procedure, she has lost her memory of almost everything from her life, including her friends. She shares how she reaches out to her friends via text messaging in a group chat that started before the surgery took place and continued long after. Thanks to her friends, family, and her teacher, she is able to re learn almost everything from school and her life. While creating the video of her story, she reads aloud the text messages she and her friends sent to each other, to clearly explain the impact her friends had on her memories, and motivating her to work hard to remember her life.

Her friends and family help her remember her life and her teacher helps her remember her school life. While re learning everything from school, her memories start coming back, and she is able to watch home movies to remember everything from outside of school. The people who see her video online, will get a clear understanding of what she went through and how she overcame this obstacle in her life.

Pathogen

The short film Pathogen is a science fiction thriller that will have audiences on the edge of their seats begging to see more. The story centers around two doctors (Malcolm and Rogers) as they are tasked with trying to come up with a cure for the first disease outbreak in the last 25 years. Following the end of a third world war humans have gotten rid of disease as it is known in the modern day or so they think. Eradicating all bacteria these people live in a completely sterile environment with no interaction of the destroyed world around them. This creates a perfect breeding ground for nature to take it’s course and rid the earth of it’s true ailment. This thriller stars Tom hardy, Daniel Craig, and Rachel McCadams in roles that are out of their ordinary comfort zone. While Craig most well known for his roles as James Bond plays a much more even toned disease outbreak specialist sidekicked by McCadams who plays a nurturing Doctor Rogers. The film is fast paced giving the feeling of more explanation needed at times it is still the thriller of the summer. It is a perfect blend of a constant dark undertone with the wild ride of a questionable but very possible future world. Excellent acting will carry most of the emotion of this movie there will be tears and laughs as the audience is submersed into the end of the world as they know it. Opting for a more classical musical score the grand scenes and emotions of the characters are portrayed through the music. John Williams writing the bulk of the music gets to show his dark side and displays deep tones mixing fittingly with the dark genre created. This film will leave viewers with more questions than answers adding to the fun of speculation and debate about the current scientific research being conducted.

The Adventures of Finding a Home is a touching story of a lonely dog named Brody who was abandoned by his previous owners leaving him on the sidewalks of Central Park. Brody spends all his days spending time at park and over his time he meet his best friend Pip, a funky pidgin who helps Brody and sticks by him through the journey.  Brody was talking to Pip when he explains that he wants something more than just a sad life alone at the park. He always looks over at owners and their dogs having fun at the park and Brody comes to the conclusion that he wants what those dogs have and realizes he needs to work for it if he so he can get what he want. So he asked Pip to help him. The two characters go through a bunch of ups and downs all for one thing in the end, finding the perfect family.

I would recommend this short film to audiences because it really does show the importance of  friendship. The story ties in life lessons from never give up, to trusting yourself all while being light hearted and a little bit silly! It would be a great short film for kids to watch and I feel like they can remember the lessons that are shown through the film as they grow.
