Camp Confessions. On a warm summer night, camp counselors James and Elizabeth share a quiet, intimate moment atop a cabin roof, as James nervously gathers the courage to confess his feelings to her.

Why do you feel this publication is important?

I believe Storyline is incredibly important because it provides GMU students with an opportunity to share their screenplays in a curated publication, ensuring that their work is both seen and valued by others.

What are the inspirations/motivations behind your screenplay?

I was motivated to write this piece because of my desire to write a story with likeable characters in a nostalgic atmosphere. Although I am a lover of horror films, I also love ‘80s and ‘90s coming of age rom-coms. While writing this piece I took inspiration from some of my favorite writers such as Cameron Crowe, John Hughes, and Noah Baumbach.
