Developed as a thesis project at NYU, SAVE THE PLANET, imagined a utopian group home in Bushwick, NY. Collaborating with homeless youth I met while living in Manhattan's Covenant House and inspired by the terrain of his Brooklyn neighborhood, I wrote a short screenplay about a diverse, makeshift family undergoing a change as they prepare for the departure of their surrogate father.
