Directions Unit - A Journey Through - Underlying themes

There are a few underlying themes and subtext to my short film. These will I think really work well when I put them to execution.

Drug use:

Drug use in the modern era has a tight grip on my generation, and it has become the norm to exploit drugs in modern television, from soap operas all the way to comedy skits. I plan to use drug use in a very serious way - relative to soap opera approaches.

Losing a loved one:

With my film, I plan to make it as ambiguous as possible. There are many different possibilities and thoughts that you can take from the film. Clearly our main character is affected by the fact that he is not with a loved one, whether that could be because of his own actions, death, or maybe a combination of both!

Isolation and lonliness:

This doesn't come as a surprise as an underlying theme as this is the main theme of the script. the isolation and lonliness is essentially a combination of the above two themes, which works out really well.
