Hello, another idea post for today!
This is for a short-film about a girl planning take up a college entrance exam at her dream university.
Iskolar (The Scholar)
Characters:
Roselle
– a fourth year private school student from a middle-class family. She is
ambitious, goal-oriented, smart and idealistic. Despite the privilege of being
enrolled in a private school, she feels that her school is not competitive
enough and that she’ll learn more if she studied in a public science high
school. Moreover, her parents’ income is not enough for her to enroll in the
top admired private universities in the country. With this in mind, she plans
to go to an esteemed university---UP.
Stella
- Roselle’s mother – she is a thirty eight year old housewife and a brand
direct seller. She’s aware of how driven her daughter is when it comes to
education and worries on how they can manage to send her off to college but her
soft-spoken approach cannot compete with her daughter’s sharp conviction. With her small earnings and moral support to give, Stella stands by her
daughter's side in achieving her dream to become a scholar.
Rodin
– Roselle’s father – an employee at an accounting firm, he is a forty year old
accountancy graduate who never got the chance to take the CPA exam because of
lack of financial resources. This personal frustration led him to fully support
Roselle in achieving her dream, also a dream he failed to put into reality.
Moreover, his salary is not enough for them to send Roselle into the top
universities. For him, Roselle’s hurdle is not her battle alone, but the battle
of their family.

Story:
Every
high school student dreams of entering a prestigious university and for
Roselle, aiming for the best is nonetheless her goal.
A truly ambitious person,
Roselle strived her way to become the smartest in her class and learn all she
could learn so that she can pass her college entrance exams even without cram schools. Because of
financial difficulties, Roselle studies in the school library, asked for free
tutorial services from her teachers and continued to study on her own while
some of her classmates are in the luxury of enrolling in review centers.
For
her, education doesn’t equate a hefty amount. Moreover, if she were to choose,
she would study in a public science high school rather than in a private high
school wherein money is also a requirement. More than the prestige, Roselle
knows that she can learn the best from the best if she enters her dream
university. For her, this dream is hitting two birds in one stone---her
admission to the university means her parents will not need to work too hard
for her expenses.
But all her efforts are not enough to measure if she can pass
or not. She can only relax if a letter revealed that she’s officially qualified
to admit in the university or not. But for Roselle, she only have one life to live, and she wants to live it studying
in her dream university and be a scholar.
