Dangerously Awesome!
Coming Summer 2015!
This movie was severely low-budget. I was glad to be given the opportunity to finally become a stand-up comedian through this film I created. I have been working on the script since September 2014 and am very impressed with the final product. Along with my friends, we had a great time filming and everybody in the film got a kick out of my comedy. Before I started writing the script, I knew I needed a theme of comedy to lean back on so that it doesn't look like I'm copying off of other comedians. When you think about it for a moment, Jerry Seinfeld does observational humor, Gabriel Iglesias tells stories, Rodney Dangerfield complained about getting no respect and George Carlin spoke out about all sorts of things that aggravated him. I didn't want to choose any of those themes.
However, as somebody who is on the Autism spectrum, I tend to see the world a little differently than others. DING! LIGHT BULB! I finally figured out my theme. Basically, when I wrote "Dangerously Awesome," I chose some topics of things that I didn't like and, even though I was not complaining about them, I gave my honest opinions on the topics I covered in the show. I came up with some fake but amusing news headlines, honest product and company slogans, and wrote some monologues about "Problems I Have With Society," "Facebook," "The Weather Channel,"Odds And Ends" (kind of the first half of my societal problems), and made some funny comments in the intro and outro of my film.
That wasn't the only part of the movie. The plot for the whole movie is one of the buildings on my school's campus (it is deemed Applied Arts) is being demolished to reconstruct a brand new high-tech building. My friends and I are standing outside of the building at a particularly bad moment- The construction workers are blasting that day. I suddenly realize that my material for my comedy show was left inside the building. As my friends chase after me, I open the door to the building only for a huge explosion to come pounding through the doorway. Nobody was hurt. And when I say nobody, I mean me. At the end of the movie, my friends aren't impressed with what I did. As i run past the camera, my friends run after me hoping I don't cause any more trouble.
So, this was the basic premise for my movie. I really had fun directing and being the main star in the film and my friends had fun as well. At some point, I will be posting the two monologues out of the last 10 monologues of this blog. These particular two will be "Odds And Ends" and "Problems I Have With Society." Just so you can get a feeling of my opinions on a variety of different topics ranging from Doctors and TGI Friday's to Selfies and plans for my new backyard.
