Abstract

The Sweet Idiot is a microbudget comedy feature written, produced and directed by Austin LeMaster. The film aims to make a case for reinstating novelty and singularity to the cinema-going experience. The film uses basic filmmaking tools, putting special emphasis on human performances in order to capture the unique resulting theatricality and ritualistic spirit that warrants attending a feature film. This thesis document serves as a record of the processes, hindrances, and ultimately the prevalence that resulted in the final product.
