Why Drama?

It really comes down to substance.

A Drama film can be comedic, melancholy, action packed, tragedy based, historical, political, really anything one wants to produce as long as one conveys some sort of meaning, or perhaps even social commentary, through a story. This genre offers a medium through which one can share an idea or a perspective on an issue through real life situations and character development. Drama films tend to be the ones that leave you searching for a deeper meaning.

For the target audience we are trying to engage, "Generation Z" (people born from the mid 1990s to 2000s), narratives of real characters involving modern issues seem most attractive. But our decision to base ourselves off of type of film lies more on the qualities of the genre rather than on solely impressing our audience. We want our film opening to be diverse in ideas, and show different perspectives, something we can best accomplish with the use of multiple characters who the film will be based upon, a unique quality of drama films.
