Cry Me a River
When a downtrodden man loses his creativity, he realizes the real manic pixie dream girl was inside him all along.
A man loses all creativity during the 2020 pandemic. His life has become nothing, laying in bed, eating cereal, and staring at his empty canvases. Desperate to make something different, he begins to write a self-pitying script in hopes that he’ll stumble upon a beautiful young muse to pull him out of his funk. However, when his search for this dream girl is suddenly interrupted by the film’s deadline, he continues the movie alone, trying both to avoid falling into tropes, and to save his inner artist himself.
