Faking Reality
Say you’re a high school senior who’s a bit of a loser; how do you up your popularity? Well, Albert decides that if he can get everyone to think he’s the subject of some reality show that’ll do. And it does. For awhile, anyway, in my script “Faking Reality.”
Albert Voluz is about to start his senior year of high school. He’s not thrilled. As an “outsider” whose interests include magic and pottery, high school has not been good to him. He’s been flushed (in a toilet). He’s had his sneakers taken and tossed up into the telephone wires. He’s been picked on and embarrassed. But this year’s going to be different. No matter what. So with the help of his two friends, Robert (a video-game playing pal) and Janelle (a soft-spoken smart girl who’s known Albert since first grade), he’s got a plan. He's going to take the money he saved doing magic shows for birthday parties and hire some college film students to follow him around with a camera. Sure, the plan works...a little too well. Albert finds himself enjoying being the center of attention, becoming attractive to the head cheerleader, making a real enemy of the football star and alienating his true friends. Once a ratings-starved cable network buys the rights to the "reality show" Albert's plan goes really awry.
