Concept Corner #14

Concept Corner #14 - Outer Rim High
The story of the main actor of a famous TV show and the struggles he faces in his career alongside his coworkers, which he transforms through the lens of his imagination into high-intensity action sequences not unlike the ones on his show. 

I got the idea of a story about the making of a TV show from the movie Bolt, and the main character (name currently undecided) came from my experiences with Asperger's. He's an actor who plays the main character on a hit TV show in-universe - think Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the supernatural elements traded for futuristic, sci-fi ones - and like me, he's autistic. He faces challenges in his daily life - both related to the show and not - that some neurotypical people might not be burdened by, and he uses his imagination to change them into scenes and stories that might belong on his show, which allows him to approach them from a better vantage point.

I love using my imagination - it's a big reason why I want to be an author - and I think writing about a person who embraces his imagination so freely would be a fun experience for me.
