My short graduation film, "Bob," is about Bruno, a young musician who plays on the streets every day, hoping to break through in the music industry. However, no one seems to listen to his playing, except his roommate Jarno, who's more often stoned than lucid. Bruno's former bandmate and good friend, Laura, is worried about him and (seemingly) unsuccessfully encourages him to return as a pianist in their band.

One day, Bruno is approached by a confused man. The man hands him an egg with a face drawn on it. To Bruno's disbelief, the egg begins to talk to him. The egg introduces itself as Bob and assures Bruno that he will be the key to his musical breakthrough. Bruno allows himself to be persuaded to step outside his comfort zone, and—on Bob's well-intentioned advice—may end up falling even further short of his goal. When Bob's ridiculous advice hits a low point, Bruno realizes where his heart truly lies and finally succeeds in making the right choice.

Description
Bruno (mid 20s)

A talented but frustrated street musician. Idealistic, stubborn, and proud, yet also sensitive and unsure of his place in the world. Bruno believes he has what it takes, but feels constantly ignored. His quest for recognition drives him to absurd choices. Behind his sarcasm and cynicism lies a deep need to truly be heard.
(Being able to play the piano is an advantage)


Bob (voice actor)

A talking egg. Cheeky and manipulative, yet also charming and infectiously enthusiastic. He's both Bruno's mentor and the devil on his shoulder.


Jarno (late 20s)

Bruno's roommate. What he lacks in ambition, he makes up for in carefreeness and kindheartedness. Although he can sometimes get in Bruno's way, he always means well.


Abel (50/60)

A middle-aged man who often spends his time on the streets. A mysterious and unpredictable extra. He's mentally out of sorts and often talks to himself. He hands Bruno the egg—a small, absurd gesture that sets the story in motion. Abel is the catalyst that sets Bruno's search for meaning and recognition in motion, without him seeming to be aware of it.
