POST PRODUCTION

Written by, directed by, and starring me! Caroline Buddendorf.

Fresh out of a break up, we see a young artist’s monotonous life. Wake up, go to her day job, come home, make a depressing dinner, repeat. She is lacking inspiration in her life, but finds herself paying attention to the beauty of the regulars at her coffee shop. Inspired by them, she sketches their characteristics during lulls in the work day. She falls asleep sketching the perfect culmination of all of them one night, and wakes up to find the paper missing from her notebook, torn out. She shrugs it off and goes back to her routine. When she starts her day, she finds her drawing, human size, sitting at her dining table. A life size paper man. Lionel. We then enter a surreal world where they fall in love. She brings him to parties, adventuring, and they fall into a routine of their own. She begins to feel a bit trapped in the relationship, inconvenienced by all of the things that come with having a paper boyfriend, but she has a solution, leading to her new journey in self discovery.
