One Last Letter, SVA Thesis Film
Claradactyl for MJ (girlfriend/ex-gf)
Amanda is a high school student who finds herself trapped in cycles of abusive relationships and addiction.
Despite her best efforts, her brains and natural charisma are not enough to conceal the way these things are ravaging her life. In the process of self destruction she hurts the people around her as well, namely her girlfriend of many years, Amanda.
"Well, I can't just tell them to leave."
- Spoken in response to her girlfriends oncoming panic attack. MJ's not so subtle manipulation shifts blame away from herself, despite the fact that she invited a large group of friends over to do drugs without telling Amanda.
"I think we should break up. Before College."
- Delivered on the tail end of a bender, MJ sounds almost apathetic as she says this. She is hardened and exhausted at this point.
