The Journal is a short film that tells the story of a struggling high school student, Jacob, who’s given a tough assignment to keep a journal for the remainder of the school year.

He decides to start fresh with a new notebook/journal by purchasing one at a local bookstore. While at the bookstore, he runs into a fellow classmate, and has an unexpected heart to heart about their pasts.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS:

[JACOB] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 16-18]

Jacob has lived in the community for at least a year, but he’s still not quite acclimated to the area, as he barely has any friends and is generally ignored at school. He’s also doing poorly in school, due to personal issues that have been weighing on his mind. 3 years prior, his sister died of leukemia, and he’s devastated by the loss. His family has fallen apart; after the death of his sister, his mother couldn’t take the loss and her relationship with his father disintegrated. He’s now living with his mother in a small apartment, while she’s taken an extended leave of absence from a teaching job.

[CASEY] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 16-18]

Casey Meadows is a generally cheerful, very intelligent teenager. She’s very much into writing, and does it nearly every day by keeping a diary or journal. She, too, has suffered a loss with the death of her brother several years ago. However, through her writing, she’s found an outlet to express her confusing emotions and has found peace.

[JACOB - ADULT] [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 30-35]

Jacob is an established writer, having written several novels and non-fiction books, as well as having won several awards for his writing. He is married to Casey and has one daughter. He is writing the most difficult book of his life: his biography.

[CASEY - ADULT] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 30-35]
