Confessions Of A Name Dropper
Confessions of A Name Dropper is a dark comedy about a middle aged man named Cutter who lives alone on an island. He lives his life according to other people’s words and ideas that he stubbornly claims are his own. Seeking the help of an expert, if at times difficult therapist, he struggles to come to terms with who he really is and who his real friends are. Or, if he really has any.

‘Confessions Of A Name Dropper’ is a post pandemic story about isolation and insulation. Our protagonist lacks the skills and awareness to have real friends and original thought, so he makes them up. The humor lies in his defensiveness and ability to skillfully deflect professional insight, and tenacious rejection of authority.
