Introduction
For the humor project we were told to me funny, but were pretty much given complete freedom other than that one requirement. Actually, even that one requirement was a “try your best” requirement. I guess Freestyle teachers have the bar set pretty low for the students’ sense of humor. We did a mockumentary about a secret flat earth society and we try to poke fun at conspiracy theorists that take it too far. Basically it was one massive satire that combined absurdity with a reckless interrogation of a groups way of life. I guess that’s funny. I made this film with Nicholas Fletcher, Tyler Buhr, Ryan Kelleher, Mia Polcyn, and Max Baler.

Humor Script
Check out the script for the humor project here, it has a bunch of information on the pre-production for our film. If you don’t want to read it, the short and sweet is that it is an improvised mockumentary with written interviewer lines and an overall structure for our characters to follow. You will also see character profiles.
