Hello everyone! There’s been slow goings at the blog because of all the stuff that’s happening with film school. Speaking of, I wanted to tell you all about a project I’m helping produce! The film, directed by graduate student Ethan Speakman, is called Cute Girl Uncertainty Principle and it’s about a guy who uses quantum mechanics to make a girl fall in love with him. As a producer on this project you might think I’m being biased when I say it’s a great project to get involved in, but unequivocally it’s one of the best graduate thesis projects I’ve read and I’d love for everyone to contribute to help Ethan get his film off the ground. You can go directly to this link if you want to donate. Need more convincing? Check out the short video and full synopsis after the jump!
Synopsis: Ever put yourself out there to win someone over?
Erwin is a child prodigy in physics who has moved on to became a professor. Just one problem: he has very little social skills. His bluntness and inability to approach anyone with compassion has caused him to have only one friend, himself, who he talks to all the time. Oh, and his ‘friend’ talks back. Just imagine someone having half a conversation as they walk down the street: that’s Erwin in a nutshell.
So when it comes time for him to approach women… well it’s already difficult for a man to do that but for Erwin it’s near impossible. Here’s where his math comes in: using his knowledge of Quantum Mechanics Erwin creates a theory that tells him what to say and what to do to win a woman’s heart. At least that’s what he’s trying to do. And by a woman’s heart, it’s really just one woman – Sally.
Why Sally? Because that’s his intellectual equal. She’s just as smart as him. Meaning that, in his mind, if he could win her over, his loneliness and social isolation would end.
So with theory in hand Erwin asks Sally out on a date…
