Ge n r e/S y n o p s i s_The Walk
My g e n r e is a poetic experimental film.
L o g l i n e :
The logline of the film is about a young man in constant struggle in understanding his identity of his new beliefs in Christianity as work and school takes constant demands of his life that always keeps him in motion.
S y n o p s i s :
The synopsis of the film is a young man (Charles Johnson) seeking his identity as a believer in Jesus Christ. He experiences lots of demands throughout his day while trying to maintain a positive attitude. At the end of the day, Charles looks at his situation too long, which causes him to begin to complaint. He pauses within his thoughts to come to a realization that he is blessed to be in his position.
Charles is able to go to school and work to achieve a goal most of his peers never pursue. This film is to show how human beings are in constant motion by machine or physical body while our interaction of human can bring positive or negative thoughts s of how the world is from ones perspective.
