Life isn't a movie

12 min

DILLON, an intensely ambitious twentysomething, orchestrates all aspects of her life, including her own surprise-going-away party. The party is at Dillon’s local honky tonk in her rural Oklahoma town the week before she and her longtime boyfriend, BEAU, are set to move to New York City to chase their dream of becoming filmmakers. Being the aspiring film director that she is, Dillon breaks the fourth wall to direct the movie as we watch it. She experiments with different film genres to show us how she wants the night to go, but reality inevitably takes over. In an argument in the parking lot, Beau reveals the truth: he doesn’t want to move. Dillon tries to rewind and start the scene over, but she can’t make the camera listen to her anymore; she’s lost control of the narrative. Left alone in the rain, Dillon must choose: stay behind with the person she loves or charge forward toward the life she’s fought for.
