TITLE: SETUP
January 6, 2007
DRAFT: Final
WRITER: Rob Trump
LOGLINE: A self-centered college playwright tries to win back his ex-girlfriend by casting her in a play that mirrors their lives.
SYNOPSIS: JAY, a college playwright, and JEN, his play's director, have a problem to deal with: their lead actress has fallen sick. Jay has a solution: replace the actress with his ex-girlfriend, AUDREY. Given the circumstances, however, Audrey and her new boyfriend NOEL are rather surprised to learn the topic of the play: a playwright wins back his ex-girlfriend by casting her in a play.
Audrey comes to Jay frustrated with his transparency but eventually willing to act due to the familial connections Jay has to Broadway producers. She struggles with the difficulty of separating life from fiction just as Jay struggles with the difficulty of forcefully applying fiction to life.
Jay's world peppered by absurdities out of his control…literal visual jokes manifest themselves before Jay: chickens cross the road; a monk, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar; a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde follow. Ultimately, Jay's convoluted setup and the play's repetition lead to Audrey's rejection of him, and a long line of people frustrated by Jay's self-importance who would like nothing more than a chance to hit him: punch line.
ABOUT PROJECT BLUELIGHT
Project Bluelight is the first collaborative film project at a professional level of production within the undergraduate community of Columbia University. The organization, which is affiliated through CUFP, represents students from all four undergraduate schools notwithstanding our post-production team that has yet to be selected. Our team includes numerous experienced actors, publicists, producers, crew and directors who have worked on such endeavors as the Varsity Show, Columbia Television, student short films and feature films of their own, and prestigious internships at a wide array of production companies. It is the first outlet ever established that provides students studying or interested in film media the opportunity to participate in a professional-level film production. In addition, the final product will be submitted to multiple film festivals around the world as the first product of the Columbia undergraduate community collective. This, however, is not a one project venture. Project Bluelight is designed to become a permanent institution within the community shaping Columbia’s undergraduate filmmakers and aspiring actors for years to come.
