When I started to write JAS, I decided I wanted to make little small movies that could all work together with one another and go together. The reasoning behind this was that I wanted to create a long movie, but I didn't want to work with the same people for very long periods of time. I wanted to work with lots of actors and crew members so I could mix things up. I think I accomplished my goal of creating good stories, even though a couple of them are currently still under major development. The script itself is made up of six different stories connected by characters, themes, and locations.
