Part Two details the preproduction process and major crew members’ collaborations and contributions before filming. Part Three describes daily successes, struggles, and direction while in production.

The World Still Undiscovered, Ella Pfalzgraff
The World Still Undiscovered, Ella Pfalzgraff
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
“The World Still Undiscovered” explores a particular way of seeing the common setting, i.e., the so-called West, of all seven of the short stories contained therein, specifically responding to two ideas of the West: in America, that the West is somewhere you can go to find the freedom to grow up independent of the oppression of civilization; and in Canada, that the West is a place that is inherently deadly and therefore boxes people into small, narrow towns. Each of these stories resists that binary.
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
LSU 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.
