tell me abt your fake indie film guys ok?

ok soi don't have like. full plot for them yet it's mainly vibes but I do have some background info for the characters and things but I'll start with vibes to keep it simple 👍 read more bc I want to ramble <33

a lot of the story relates back to relationships (both platonic and romantic) and themes of loneliness. it's about three kids who are on summer break after their junior year in high school. the trio travel away from home for a few weeks together. it turns into learning more about themselves and the people around them than just a vacation. they end up staying in the area around wallowa lake, oregon.

there's three main characters, starting with trent. a lot of the focus is on him for the exposition. his mom died when he was nine and his dad left him with babysitters and weekly deposits until he was 13 and deemed well enough to be on his own with his dad vacationing full time. he doesn't come back for the summer anymore, so Trent decides to use some of the money he's saved from his dad to go to wallowa with cassidy and ricky. he's always been interested in the arts and videography. he was given a video camera when he was little and has never let go of it since.

cassidy, or cass/cassy, is the first person asked to go on the trip with trent. at first they wanted to go alone but felt it would be wrong not to include ricky. cassy is on her school's cheer team and is raised by a mother who wants to live a better life through her only daughter. her father is also out of the picture. cassy is the most outgoing of the group, but still needs time to slow down and see the world around her. the pressure her mother put on her catches up to her as she goes low contact over the break. she wants to go into prop design or anything behind the scenes for theater.

ricky is our last little guy. him and trent were friends since middle school and trent was ricky's only friend for a while. he met cassidy through trent, though trent was introduced to cassidy through a mutual friend named teresa (who sadly isn't that important to the story because i really like her. she's chill.) ricky was isolated since he was little, only interacting with other people in the house and occasionally other kids on the block. he was homeschooled until 7th grade where he had to completely relearn how he makes friends. trent introduced him to some bands he likes during one of their art classes together and bonded over that. he's thinking of dropping out of high school before his senior year.

the story starts in winnemucca, nevada, but most of it takes place either on the drive to or in wallowa city and its lake. trent realizes how lonely he's become since his mom passed and him and ricky bond over it. cassy's issues with her self worth resurface and she tries to come to terms with not being what her mom wants. ricky struggles to connect with the world around him and tries to find ways to make the loneliness more bearable.

and finally after three days, here's the art to go with it. from left to right we have ricky, trent and cassy.

St Wendreda is a 14th-century church famous for its “angel roof”, featuring 120 carved figures of martyrs, apostles, saints, and angels. The ornaments were created either at the end of the 15th century or in the first quarter of the 16th century.

In the capital of Wallonia (the French speaking southern part of Belgium) you can find this amazing interior in Flemish baroque style of the Saint-Lupus Church (Église Saint-Loup).

It is one of the most important Baroque churches in Belgium and was built by the Jesuits between 1621 and 1645. Initially it was called Saint Ignatius Church (église Saint-Ignace), and served the adjacent Jesuit college. Today, this church is also used for concerts in addition to worship services.

After their arrival in the 17th century, the Jesuits took over a small college which they enlarged. Afterwards they built a church adjacent to this college, which was dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit order. Pieter Huyssens (° Bruges, 1577, † Bruges, 6-6-1637), a Flemish Jesuit, architect and Baroque master, designed this church. Nevertheless, he did not live to see its completion: even at the start of the construction works, there appeared to be insufficient funds for immediate completion. Although the rector of the college regularly called for donations, the activities slowed down: they were forced to be spread over the period from 1621 to 1641. The architect himself died earlier: in 1637. After the completion of the church, it was finally consacrated.
