She Is Doubt. While experiencing her first love, a teenage girl is tormented by the embodiment of her own doubt.
Why do you feel this publication is important?
I transferred to GMU not knowing much about the school or the film community here. At a production fair, someone handed me a copy of Storyline, and reading through the scripts was the first time I really felt connected to other GMU film students. Sharing student work like this says a lot about who we are, and I think it can really inspire other students too.
What are the inspirations/motivations behind your screenplay?
Through the pain and joy of falling in love, I feel that this story wrote itself. Especially in my teenage years, my brain has felt so bombarded by thoughts and emotions that it sometimes feels like there’s a demon who wants nothing more than to hurt me. It’s easier to believe those thoughts and feelings belong to someone else than to accept that all of that hate is inside of me. But the truth is, every horrible thing in my head belongs to me and it terrifies me that I can’t run from that. That fear is what inspired this little screenplay.
