Creative Writing/JDM major Kellie Pleshinger’s capstone is titled "Eris Heights: The Search for Truth in a Supernatural-Horror Screenplay and Trailer." Kellie’s mentor, Dr. Maura Grady, writes: “Kellie’s project, the TV pilot script for Eris Heights, is excellent work. . . Eris Heights is tightly plotted but also has engaging characters and a compelling setting. . . . Kellie’s script leaves no detail unconsidered – music cues, character descriptions, and actions are precise and appropriate for her story. The characters jump off the page and tell the casting director exactly what to look for in the actors. . . . [Kellie] has also planned, filmed, and edited a film trailer for the series. Her technical filmmaking skills are on display in the trailer. Producing the trailer is a further step of creation beyond the already first-rate achievement of writing the screenplay.”
