INtro: WHat is atomic?
ATOMIC is a collection of web episodes about the occurrences in the life of a protagonist that chooses to view everything in short cinematic form. It is an anthology about how the modern day average joe can succeed in the real world based on the knowledge and experience he gains by being a hero inside of the fictional world he invents.
Intro: Concept
The title of the show originates from the concept of being both a minuscule portion of reality in the grand scheme of things but also striving to become or be part of something much larger than yourself. Much like, in a very rudimentary sense, an atom. It is so small it cannot be seen yet it is what makes everything up. Each episode incorporates film a different film genre or theme to experiment with the juxtaposition of reality and how such worlds alter the way in which we carry out our lives.
Synopsis: Phase two
Over the summer, I decided to start a new stage to my content that was parallel with the changes in my life and would allow me to improve the way I made videos, force me to create more, and be consistent.
Phase Two:
- Build a Crew
- Make Weekly Content
- Have a GOOD story to tell
- NYU GFA

Team Workflow:
- Established cast and crew will meet at least ONCE a week. Preferably at GFA meeting.
