ABSTRACT

My honors thesis is presenting the progress and accomplishments I have made on writing a 5 season television series and the experience ive gained from the process. My thesis mainly encapsulates the writing of the final season of the series (10 episodes, 60 pages per episode). I have been writing the series since the begginging of my college career, setting out to finish the entire five season story throughout my four years. I am working with my advisor, professor rachelle dermer, consulting her to perfect the character writing, content and plot of the season. I have learned a tremendous amount about myself as w writer through this process. This series is a political drama chronicling a series wide story of dimensional politicians dealing with government corruption. I thought of this series as a way to express not only my creative interests but my views on society. The characters are inhuman, but I use their stories to tell grounded, human tales.
