Challenging Conventions

I believe my film challenges the paranoid fiction genre because it shows an everyday person who goes through a mental difficulty or "bump in the road" with herself and conquers it. The film is casual and could occur in real life making it unlike other films in the genre which would be more gruesome or intense. The social groups represented would be high school students and teachers. The issue represented is a mental road block; meaning, the student experiences this and can't continue working on her college admissions and is distracted in studies.
