The project is a BFA Thesis that is scheduled to be shot on 18th, 19th and 20th February. We are in need of extra athlete, who will be running in a relay. We also have one opening for a supporting character - Matt.
Synopsis-
Tyler, a high school athlete, returns to practice, a couple of days after Matt’s death; former anchor of the team. He meets his coach, Frank, and his teammates Clay, Hugh, and the new guy Nathan. Frank tells them their new lineup and tells Tyler that he is the new anchor of the team. Tyler is hesitant at first as he does not feel that he can take Matt’s place. But after talking to Frank he agrees. They start practicing, but when Nathan hands off the baton to Tyler, Tyler drops it. They go again and again a number of times but Tyler fails to take the baton. After numerous failed attempts, Nathan gets frustrated and takes it out on Tyler. He tells him how he needs to get over what has happened, while subtly letting Tyler know that he is there for him. This is when Frank interrupts in between and tells Nathan to leave. Tyler is unable to cope with this and tells frank that he is quitting the team and leaving the track. He goes to the locker room and breaks down crying. This is when Frank comes in and starts talking to Tyler. He tells him how he needs to move on and take the anchor position, and gives him the “anchor wristband” that Matt wore. This gives Tyler new hope to go back out on the track. They start practicing again, and this time Tyler successfully takes the baton. He runs towards the finish line and crosses it.
