Dropped

comedy · Short Films · english

Andrew and Laura, fellow actors from middle school, but now in varying paths of life, find themselves located in a classroom. While the former is an aspiring actor, the latter is a drama teacher at the same middle school, and the reason for the overlap of their paths this particular morning is Andrew being a special guest in Laura's theatre class.

Simultaneously, another development has begun taking form in Andrew’s life, one which would eventually send this student-expert interaction in a direction no one has expected, least of all the viewer. The film portrays all of this with ease, the effortless chemistry of its actors, endearing relationships, and a circumstance impossible to look away from despite the swiftly unfolding chaos.

The humor remains inherent to the narrative, which touches upon several ideas around being an artist, pursuing your dreams, and finding happiness in unexpected ways, whether or not others are able to comprehend this happiness at first glance. The approach and tone to engage with all of it remain lighthearted and playful throughout, ensuring that the story succeeds in communicating these intentions without weighing itself down.
