Making a Winning Short by Edmond Levy

Science fiction writer Jack Van Horne has been struggling with an increasing case of Agoraphobia for about the past ten years. This mental affliction makes him powerless to leave his current surroundings of the street his apartment is situated. His doctor has tried many types of medication with zero effect to break him from his self-imposed prison. The impact of his mental illness prevents Jack from finishing the final book of his space fantasy series, which has increased the psychological strain on his well being. Jack's editor believes he is just suffering from writer's block. However, Jack knows that he isn't well and that people are dismissing his mental illness as a genuine illness. When Jack is tasked with watching his niece for two days out of the sanctity of his safe zone surroundings, his journey begins to the West Valley Wall. In Jack's mind, this adventure will either aid in his sanity or cement his demise.

Edmond Levy, three-time nominee and one-time Academy Award winner for short film, teaches short-film writing at Columbia University's School of General Studies.
