Description
-
In 1999, Cornwell Scholar Jason Ferris produces the first screenplay and film ever created as an English honors thesis. His project, “Mikey: A Screenplay,” is about a young man, freshly eighteen, who has aged out of the orphanage he grew up in and befriends a bored suburban housewife whose husband is cheating on her. In the preface to his screenplay, Ferris explains that his work reflects questions about subjectivity and media and whether the former can exist in a world dominated by the latter.
