Screen Play –

About the most memorable day at Miami Ad School.

A skinny geek, using black Ray Ban Wayfarfers with huge prescription lenses and a
white micropore tape in the middle, stands sweating in front of the Miami Ad School.
From where he looks, the place looks gigantic. Slowly looking up the stone wall,
reaching the pink neon logo right when the lights go on. He’s is stuck there, scared to
death, doing this twitch of cracking his, filled with callus, videogame addict, fingers.
He gets the courage to make a move. The loyal doorman, who sees it all from his
superspy cameras, opens the door with surgical precision at the exact moment the
geek reaches for the knob. Thomas gets in. He looks at Alfonzo, the doorman, in his
little office, holding a guinea pig with one hand, rubbing the little mammal against
his check and, with the other hand, training his reflexes to push the door button as
fast as he could. Thomas is a little freaked out, not only because of Alfonzo’s mutant
supersonic speed, but because the man just keep starring at him in a strange way.
He turns around and feels humble in front of so many awards. The geek stands
there, starring at the One Show Gold Pencil for a couple of minutes. His ego starts
poisoning his mind. The montage moment begins. A movie goes by on his head.
Camera flashes coming from every direction, all the press is there. Thomas goes out
of the limo dressed like a pimp and a red carpet unfolds right beneath his feet. He
waves to the fans, who are going crazy behind the security, trying to touch him as he
smoothly walks towards the auditorium to receive his award. He stops to pose for
some pictures with his date, a smoking hot Victoria’s Secret supermodel. The
gorgeous woman grabs his head, French kiss him and starts going crazy, licking his
nose, his chin and his cheeks in front of everybody. Suddenly, he wakes up lying on
the ground and realizes all the tongue action was actually coming from a brow Lab.
There is a bunch of people around him, trying to understand what happened. As
soon as Thomas get’s back to his senses, he uses his asthma pump to breathe
normally. A beautiful blonde kneels down and says, with the most caring voice:
- Hey, you scared all of us here, are you alright?

Still dizzy, the geek replies:

- Am I in heaven? Are you an Angel?

- No, no, I’m just the co-founder and president of this school, Pippa. Nice to meet you.

She reaches for his hand, to help him stand up, and says:

- Let me take you to my office, so you can relax.

At this moment, an image pops up in his mind. He sees Pippa dressed as a female
warrior/amazon/horsewoman, saving him from a flying fire dragon. The geek
doesn’t say a word and just keep looking at her. He felt in love right away.

They’re sitting at Pippa’s office and she starts talking:

- What happened back there, sweetie?

He answers stuttering:

- I, I, I, I have an emotional disorder, every time I feel too sad or too happy or too exited
the oxygen level on my brain goes down and I faint.

- Are you sure you want to be a creative?

- I couldn’t be a game designer, so, so, so, so I think I’m almost sure.

- So we will have to fix this disorder of yours.

- How come? You, you, you won’t accept me here.

- No, no. Is just that this industry can be really tuff. You will have to deal with all kinds
of emotions in a daily basis. You’ll get sad and happy everyday. And we don’t want a
cute little boy like you getting frustrated, right?

Thomas falls back from his chair, fainted.
