Pitch 2: In a time where people are glued to their screens all the time, two young gentlemen men seek out a new form of entertainment. Join these two boys as they explore life outside of a screen and witness a whole new experience. Discussion of pitch 1: So we really like this idea but there are several problems. We are not sure on what the kids dream or passion should be. That is the only dilemma we’ve ran into, once we get that coming up with obstacles won’t be hard.

It is worth telling you that this is my final project and we will be giving it our all. I had many choices for who I would group up with. My original choice was to group up with a different friend but he was already in a group of 4, which seemed like too much to handle. I eventually asked my old friend Brayden if he was willing to take me for a group. He has many notable specialties in production that work out perfectly for the group. Brayden and I have known each other since 7th year in middle school. During middle school, we worked on a couple assignments together, so this is nothing new or uncomfortable. Brayden has positive energy and is very hardworking as well as productive. So, after realizing Brayden's background with me and ...
