Frank: Student Film
Project Overview
"Frank" is a student short film about Frank Ensteins-Monster, a monster in an elementary school. He is being bullied relentlessly by his classmates, but he will have to save them and face his fears when disaster strikes. “Frank” is a comedic short with some action and a heart.
Full Synopsis:
Frank, a monster with the mind of a child, was created in a lab 10 years ago and now attends a regular elementary school. His classmates bully him relentlessly, but he does not let it make him bitter. They terrorize him with Bunsen burners, by tripping him, and generally by treating him as an outcast. When an accident at the school play happens involving a flaming light falling from above the stage, Frank must confront his fear of fire in order to save his tormentors. Before he exits the theater, he remembers the earlier words of a bullies who said they would never want to be seen with him. He lets them run out on their own and follows soon afterwards to no fanfare. When the bullies recount their survival to the news, they say they were saved by a friend as they give Frank a big hug as a sign that Frank is finally accepted. Frank hugs them back.
This is a ~6 minute film with minimal voice acting, but the little that is there is important. This will be my senior film and once completed I will show it at various film festivals then later post it to YouTube.

Voice Actor
A painfully boring teacher with no hope that he's going anywhere. Think about Ben Stein's teacher character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. His delivery is dry and humorless.

Voice Actor
A regular elementary school boy who bullies his classmate. He is in 5th grade. I would like an adult who can do an impression of a child's voice, applicant gender does not matter. Think about Bart Simpson's voice.

Voice Actor
A Prissy elementary school girl who bullies her classmate. Most of her lines are during a school play, so you can dial up the pretentiousness. Don't make her too annoying, though. I would like an adult who can do an impression of a child's voice, not a child.

Mr. Trenchard, you will please recollect you are addressing my daughter! And in my presence!
I am aware, Mr. Trenchard, you are not used to the manners of good society, and that, alone, will excuse the impertinence of which you have been guilty.
