Film School Confidential

At Strathmore Art School, aspiring artist Jerome Platz dreams of becoming the greatest artist of the 21st century. He enrolls in classes with a passion for honing his skills in drawing and painting, eager to stand out among his peers.

The campus is beset by a series of mysterious murders targeting young female art students, casting a shadow over Jerome's artistic pursuits. This unsettling atmosphere adds an element of danger and intrigue to his daily life at the school.

While navigating the art school environment, Jerome becomes captivated by Audrey, an older model who inspires his artistic vision. Her beauty and depth create a connection that fuels his creative impulses despite the tension surrounding them.

Jerome learns that Audrey is the daughter of a celebrated artist, which only deepens his admiration for her. However, he feels a sting of jealousy when he notices her growing attraction towards Jonah, a traditional artist with a very different style.

Jonah’s bold and dynamic art style stands in stark contrast to Jerome's more conventional approach. This comparison challenges Jerome to reflect on his own artistic identity and the paths he may or may not want to take.

Jerome seeks guidance from his professors, Professor Sandford and Sophie, but finds their mentorship to be lacking. Their vague critiques leave him feeling lost and uncertain about the direction of his artistic journey.

Jerome befriends Jimmy, a seasoned artist with a penchant for darker themes in his work. This friendship introduces Jerome to a different perspective on art that intrigues him and expands his creative horizons.

Jerome faces heartbreak when he realizes that Audrey does not return his feelings. This painful moment pushes him to reflect on his own emotional depth as well as his artistic expression.

In an effort to cope with his heartbreak and channel his emotions, Jerome begins to adopt Jimmy's darker artistic style. This choice marks a pivotal shift in his creative process as he explores new dimensions of his artistry.

Jerome's newfound style leads him into an unexpected undercover situation, confronting him with moral dilemmas regarding his art and its implications. This turning point could either be the best opportunity or the worst mistake of his life.
