This project is a screenplay that revolves around the social relations and alliances amongst students in an elite school. Reputations, fame and money are at stake as they seek to win a nation-wide band competition. The project portrays the psychology of human relations through a disgraced young saxophonist, a bitter ex-friend, a cleaner, a delinquent, and a quiet Asperger’s Syndrome boy. Competition brings out the worse and best in people but Jazz is the music that liberates them as the band learns that life is more than just a competition.
