Navigating The Moral Pitfalls Of The Service Industry "The Book Of Snake", Paul S. Punzo
Navigating The Moral Pitfalls Of The Service Industry "The Book Of Snake", Paul S. Punzo
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This thesis paper examines how I turned real life experiences and observations into a fictionalized screenplay that explores the potential for vice inherent in tip-based service industry jobs. After that, I move on to the preproduction process and touch on casting, location scouting, visualization, production design, budgeting and crewing. Next I discuss how the preproduction and on-set efforts of individuals were all critical to our production. Then I chronicle the ups and downs of postproduction. Finally, I conclude with an admittedly subjective analysis of the effectiveness of the movie itself.

Each of these stories resists that binary.
