Writer Statement

The Alpha Complex is a short film I wrote based on the final monologue in the script. I wrote the monologue after getting into a fight with my significant other, and I had all these intense feelings, so I just put them into words. Once I wrote that monologue, I knew I had to create a full script based around it because it felt so relatable, so authentic, and so important to me. So, that's how I wrote The Alpha Complex! It's such a passionate story with strong characters and relatable themes, and I truly hope you enjoy it.
