Nothing Neutral About It

While hanging out with her closest guy friend, Melissa finds herself struggling to open up about the physical altercation she's had with her boyfriend.

Directors Note: "Nothing Neutral About It" was the product of a final project that I completed for my undergraduate Intermediate Video Production class. My peers and I were given 15 lines of generic dialogue, between Characters labled "A" and "B" -- with no context or set up -- and were tasked with using the exact lines to create the context, story, cinematic pacing, and the characters delivering said lines of dialogue all by ourselves. (The course required that this final film be 3-4 minutes in length. The dialogue supplied, if performed straight through on its own, would amount to less than 1 minute).
