Experiencing Interruptions?

Bonnet Shores TV

Set in the town of Bonnet Shores, a film crew documents the chaotic lives of four college roommates and their neighbors.

Bonnet Shores TV makes sense of the college town in the same way The Office explains the modern workplace.

In the 1980's Bonnet Shores was the gem of Southern New England. Nowadays, not so much.

Director Statement

The transition into adulthood looks different across all cultures. In America it usually takes the form of the “college house.” A group of young adults striking out on their own. Carving a path into adult life… At least trying to, anyways. People who as recently as a year ago would’ve had to ask permission to use the restroom in high school are now expected to operate with full autonomy. It’s a recipe for disaster. A beautiful train wreck spanning the first few years of young adulthood.

I spent the beginning of my adult life in this exact setup. Living in a house with five roommates. There was always something happening whether you liked it or not. Unable to cook, we were sustained by Mac and Cheese and Gatorade. I remember teaching one of my roommates how to do his laundry. Our lack of life skills combined with our willingness to do stupid things led to more than a few dubious situations. Most of which involved the overconsumption of alcohol, sleep deprivation, and unhappy neighbors.

With my experience in this environment I strived to create a project that gave the viewer a semi-satirical look into this wild world. The “college house” is an iconic symbol and experience and I aimed to preserve that feeling. Bonnet Shores TV is a satirical firsthand look at what it’s like to mature in modern day America.
