1600 Meters of Running - BethAnn Putnam

After time off with dealing with shin splints, Lexi is able to run again. To run the 1600 meters she learned to love as a race to see how her shins have been. Lexi is nervous at first but her coach and friend Ashley talk before the race goes off and are able to get Lexi in the mindset of the race and ready to run. Soon the mile goes off and Lexi goes though a mental checklist in her head. What she doesn't know soon catches up to the pain that lexi feels when running. Everyone stopes to watch a  Lexi keeps running the mile with no pain at first. Soon the pain in her leg starts to over come her thoughts and as soon as she crosses the finish line, everything goes black. Lexi finds herself going in and out of a comma fighting to stay awake and understand what is going on. But to understand what is going on, Lexi keeps having these dreams about her running the 1600 race right before she blacks out. Every time Lexi gets close to figuring out what is going on in the dream it stops short and results in Lexi waking up. But each time as Lexi has the dreams, they reveal different clues to what happened and how this race changed the mindset she had. With the help of her friends and family, Lexi is able overcome different obstacles especially the mental ones of not knowing what’s going on. Lexi’s friend Ashley plays a big part in the dreams as always being there and knowing how to get Lexi to keep going when all she wants to do is stop.

My three intentions were; to show that the main character is confused and doesn’t really know what doing on and why she keeps going into these dream states. Lexi wakes up and gets confused on what is going on and how the race she just ran helps her. To see how these dream states help the main character to find herself and to keep her fighting thought the surgery and to not stop and shut down. These dreams explain/show what is happening and what everyone else see. To help the main character know that she can still run and beat the injury while having the help of her friends and family by her side.

Ideal cast:
Lexi - Keira Knightley
Ashley - Emma Watson
Jake - Orlando Bloom
Mrs. Scott - Angelina Jolie
Mr. Scott - Brad Pitt
Doctor - Ryan Reynolds
Coach - Sean Connery

Karie - By Andrew D.

The Union, a massive empire which controlled half of the world, has collapsed. In it's wake, a world-eating swarm, simply known as the Corruption, has destroyed almost everything that was once a part of the empire.

Enter Karie, a sniper which was once a part of the Union, but since it’s collapse has gone rogue. She remembers nothing about the old world, or who she was before. All she knows now is that she’s extremely sick. Willing to go through anything to get a cure, she enters an old Union facility, which she would go on to discover was an old research lab.

She enters the lab with an AI named Oliver inside her helmet, just barely escaping death. She finds that the lab still has power, but is on lockdown from back when the collapse occurred. She goes on to explore the facility, finding various other people and dangers still dormant from within the facility.

In many ways, this screenplay takes inspiration from several other sci-fi franchises, while still taking care to maintain it’s own themes.

Ideal cast:

Karie - Scarlett Johansson

Oliver - Nolan North

Dot - Jen Taylor

Jacques Steel - Kevin Spacey

Now, in two thousand seventeen, Saturday Night Live will introduce the sixteenth edition of the extremely successful series. Saturday Night Live legend, Will Ferrell, returns to the SNL screen as the otherwise mild-tempered, well-mannered Canadian idol and host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek. In this skit, lasting about ten minutes, Alex Trebek struggles to maintain his wits as he grows in anger and frustration having to deal with some of the most unique and flamboyant personalities this country has to offer. First, there is the White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, played by Melissa Mccarthy, who illustrates his aggressive behavior towards audiences and his presumptuous manner of chewing gum. The next contestant is, Wayne Campbell, portrayed by Mike Myers, of SNL’s earlier series, Wayne’s World, and the spin off nineteen ninety-two film, Wayne’s World. Wayne Campbell is a happy go lucky contestant who seems a bit confused about how the game works and struggles to understand what exactly going on around him. Finally, Snoop Dogg appears as himself as the third contestant for the game and quickly appears as the most sane contestant until Alex Trebek finds out his devious charitable intentions. While this cast of characters may seem exciting already, prepare for more new twists and buckle up for this roller coaster ride as tempers flare and the host, Alex Trebek, is pushed close to the breaking point.

Ancestry Day by Bridget van Voorst

If you’re an avid fan of The Office then this newest episode in the series is a must watch. From Diversity Day to The Dinner Party, The Office never fails to make its audience laugh and cringe at the tension-ridden episodes. The uncomfortable one-liners from Michael and the absurd notions created by Dwight are still very apparent in this historical episode of The Office. The character’s backgrounds have been mentioned throughout the entirety of the show, ranging from the in-depth Schrute family tree to the untraceable identity of Creed, and all of this comes to light in this episode.

Several prior beliefs of the character’s pasts are challenged in this episode, with hilarious twists and turns. Dwight’s heritage is questioned,Michael’s is brought to light, Ryan tries to hide his results for fear of complicating things with another co-worker, will the team survive this hysterical roller coaster?

The voice and tone of the office are very important to the overall viewing experience of The Office. With a loyal fan base that becomes attached to every character, it is a challenge to keep with the same feel of the show. Every character is a piece of a machine that makes the show function, this episode accomplished the same projection of the show- as if it were written by Mindy Kaling or B.J. Novak themselves. Ancestry day will be an enjoyable experience for any fan of The Office, rich with humor and perfectly accented with awkward moments and ridiculous occurrences.

Just watch and see for yourself.

The critics have been raving about this new series due to it's uniqueness from the use of both sic-fi and fantasy.  And because of that it will be attracting many varieties of people. Ranging from older ones who are attracted to the maturity of the fantasy/ middle-earth thing it has going for it.  And it will attract the younger generation with the special effects it will be using for the sic-fi portion of the film.  Not only will the type of movie get people to come but the actors in the movie will as well.  With leading role Chris Hemsworth as Falkor and Ian McKellen as Deemas, this short film will be attracting an audience from the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Thor and Magneto.  While this movie will not be hitting the theaters due to its lack of length in time, when it is on Demand in the summer, people will have to stop going to theaters just to watch this.
