  3. The Puffy Chair 2005 Jay and Mark Duplass Mark Duplass plays Josh Has won many independent film awards Shot on a very low budget… on location… with friends who worked for little or no pay

  4. Protagonist: Josh • He lives in a bubble… a “special world” where he does anything to get what he wants, just like a child. When faced with grown-up decisions, great insecurity and fear arise in him. Good looking young person + artistic + insecure = Paralysis Pressure to make a Commitment

  5. Antagonist: Emily • She’s romantic and naïve. Rather spoiled. She wants what she wants, even if it doesn’t exist. She’s manipulative. When faced with resistance, she reacts emotionally and often irrationally. Good looking young person + spoiled + impulsive = Stubborn Pressure to accept the situation as it is

  6. Pivotal Character: Rhett • Rhet is direct, honest, and unafraid of the consequences of being honest. He sees things for what they are (lizard). He brings actions that force change.

  7. The Puffy Chair’s Premise:Fear brings paralysis

  8. Rising action: in each act there is something more serious at stake.
