We invite anyone to create 30 Second Love Story. It can be a video, drawing, song, poem. If it is a video try to keep it between 30 to 45 seconds. The creation should reference to one of the five tropes we exploit in American Lotus Project: 1) Marie- The Manic Pixie Dream Girl That bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures. MPDGs are said to help their men without pursuing their own happiness, and such characters never grow up; thus, their men never grow up, 2) Noah- Brooding Male Hero/ Sad Philosophy Boy The tendency for the brooding, angsty, loner boy to end up with a sweet, gentle girl who will patiently coax him out of his moods. 3) Tally- The Cool Girl Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. 4) Jared- The Black Best Friend This is a black character whose role either A) revolves almost entirely around a white character or B) serves as a conscious effort for a white character/writer to appear inclusive. 5) Juliet- The Crazy One Maybe this particular cutie was just broken particularly hard, maybe it was an illness or maybe she was born that way, but the result is the same, a tragically beautiful, ethereal waif whos mad as a box of frogs. Her beauty is an important point here, underlining her fragility and the sadness of her fate. She usually talks in riddles and rhymes, can be sad or joyfully happy (or switch between these states).
