Abstract
This project consists of a screenplay for a movie that can reach a wide American and Spanish speaking audience, with the intention of capturing the attention of many people though a story that is fun, light and deep. The story is about typical modern day characters that make the audience reflect on how they think, feel, behave, relate to others and deal with conflict; helping them gain awareness of those experiences that are better known and closer to their identity (primary process in Process Work terms) and those that are further from their sense of identity (secondary process in Process Work terms). The purpose is to help raise people's awareness about the way they are, think, feel, behave and relate to each other, making Process Work concepts available to a wide and diverse audience, and promoting the study of Process Work. This contextual essay describes how I use Process Work to build the characters, the story, and the various scenes. It also explains how the project contributes to Process Work more broadly and to its approach to conflict, relationships, organizations and world issues. The question guiding this project is: How can a movie deliver Process Work concepts and approach to conflict, relationships, organizations and world issues to a wide and diverse audience using mass media.
