TREATMENT







TREATMENT

JACK is the story of a hermaphrodite writer working through the angst of a series of unrequited loves, from her pubescent beginnings in San Fransisco's era of freedom in the late nineties, to her adult life in New York City.
As the story progresses, we come to know more of JACK's physiological challenges and we experience her psychological unraveling as a self-aware intersex being with the evolution of varied and challenging relationships.
With the use of narrative voice and visual illusion, we visit definitive moments in JACK's past and future  which shape the course of her trajectory as a nomadic beat poet as they pertain to her relationship commitment issues.
This situational drama is slated to be executed with a high end cinematographic feel, from the point of view of the heroine, layered with texture from surrounding scenes and characters.
JACKS message serves to remind us all that what lies beneath a seemingly smooth surface is often much more deep and complicated than it appears.
