“Dasia” . ✍️📺 #tvconcept #showbible #scriptideas This is a homage to #RomanCoppala’s CQ . It was a tumultuous time for the Film Department, a known mediocre training ground for bitter creatives who want to direct feature films but those who stick w/ the craft go into advertising & corporate video production. A series of resignations & an acrimonious split w/the critical studies wing forced a refocus. . The new Cinematic Arts Department now only has production faculty & ugrad students now take pre-film courses & apply to be in the “film school” in their sophomore yr. Two odd new courses are required: economic & organizational sociology (SOC) & consumer culture & markets (ANTH). These were cynically dubbed as business courses for socialists. . . The Department hosted a student film festival featuring the work of the BFAs (shorts & pilots). There was a guerrilla feel to the training, where students made the most out of limited resources & learned to stay under the radar of authorities for non-permit shoots. It was a combination of exhilarating & grueling: a blur of shooting, lighting, sound, cinematography, & editing. . Jill always had earbuds on & seemed immersed in her own world. Her short would astonish everyone. She cast Dasia as a seemingly vapid college student who models & is trying her hand at being a fashion influencer. Something’s off though. It turns out that Dasia is actually an director/actor in a 1968 dystopic film about life in the near future where everyone is a glossy magazine on slideshow carousels placed throughout the city. The 1968 Dasia is seemingly put upon by her messy life of breakups, friend drama, & love triangles, but also realizes it’s rich with real interactions w/chainsmoking students in dive bars having heated conversations about Franz Fanon, social stratification and bougie aesthetics, & the Columbia student uprising. The audience feels the palpable angst of both Jill & Dasia’s relationship w/privilege & champagne socialism.
