The Death of Us

Our subject walks into a classroom in his natural state and personal style. Eventually two conformative individuals enter the classroom and gives the subject a makeover. When his makeover is complete, the two individuals smile in approval and only then is our subject deemed acceptable. The story is set in a classroom to express that conformity is taught; if something can be learned, then it has the ability to be unlearned. The theme of this short is psychological. My intention is to spark a conversation on how we feel the need to change ourselves in order to be accepted into certain spaces, and if we can truly live happily with ourselves when we conform.
