The internet aspect

 Hey blog, 

Let's keep going. 

Alright, so you read the premise of the film, "A young teen boy decides he will F$ck a monkey, and become famous on the internet."

You immediately assume the main themes of the film will surround the inhumanity of the act. Yet, it is NOT a movie about bestiality. We're in school god darn, let's keep it classy. 

The film would mostly surround our protagonist, who posts a video of him saying he wants to eff a monkey, and what the internet does with that. 

He becomes a micro celebrity in a niche of bullies, an incel that people can make fun of, without his being aware that he is being made fun of. 

He receives the attention that he sought from people his whole life. And people are laughing, just not with him. This film is about how this character becomes completely entranced with social media, and feels the need to share so much with it, that it becomes its sole source for validation and socialization. 

I took inspiration from both real life people and the film Spree. 

I already spoke about Chris Chan, so let's talk about Spree.


The poster of the film depicts a young guy, covered in blood, livestreaming himself and laughing. This is the absurdity we want to depict. 

The film shows the extremes people will go to to feel validated, even if it is from people online, and people who are seeing him in a negative light. 

The protagonist in this film is sort of a psychopath. That's not what our protagonist is. He is simply a young adult who gets lost in the attention he receives. 

We want to depict the social media aspect of the film by using tiktok and discord. Discord, is where he interacts with people more directly. It is commonly known to be an app for geeks to play videogames together, and for people to get together and chat(sometimes about odd things.)

Tiktok, is extremely popular these days. Everyday someone knew becomes popular there. The videos are short enough where they keep the attention of viewers, but long enough where people can develop themselves as characters and celebrities. 

Also-tiktok is brutal. 50% of the enjoyment of tiktok is reading comments. And people are brutal.
