The Shopping Cart Diaries: Entry 5

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! (*queues music*)

People of the Internet, we have finally entered the final week of our production process! (By force, not choice.) Our little project of joy is coming to an end, but first we have a little bit of catching up to do. First and foremost our storyboard is now available and it is charming and adorable, and please don't scoff at our artwork. Like I always say we are amateurs and we are good at it, too.

Not only are we great at being amateurs, but we are known to defy traditional filming techniques and ideas. Our plot at the center is a coming of age story, and typically such plots are reserved for characters of the middle aged cohort, as society believes that young people don't have the capability to discover themselves at such a young age. Well society, I have some words for you. Not necessarily school appropriate, but they sure are words. Our entire cast is 18 years of age or under to give the film a youthful, teenage sucker punch that coming of age stories are missing. Most coming of age stories, just from personal knowledge and experience with the genre, are fairly serious in tone. No one at Little Sombrero Studios can be serious if their life depended on it. I mean we shot some of our scenes using a Selfie Stick as a monopod! We were told by a mysterious little media studies teacher to have fun with our work, and trust me we did.

So without further ado, consider this the unofficial preview of "The Shopping Cart Diaries". Our film, our  storyboard, our vision in its purest form.
Truly a Picasso in the works...

Please, please comment if you can read it. Will work for appreciation!
