A little bit about "Mutual Admiration Society"

Story Synopsis
Mutual Admiration Society is - generally speaking - a dark comedy, in which
the humorous borders on disturbing, and vice versa. It's the type of story
that forces the viewer to question his/her every reaction, because that
which makes him laugh may make another man cringe, while that which
thoroughly disgusts him on the surface may elicit inexplicable and
uncontrollable internal delight. It is a dialogue- and character-driven
story that examines one particular slice of life, and the atmosphere, the
personalities, the philosophies, and the means of communication that flow
through it. And although this environment is meant to appear familiar and
generic to a certain extent - such that the viewer will relate to the
characters, situations, and issues - it somehow manages to remain foreign
and unique, primarily because certain aspects have been exaggerated for
comedic or some other thematic effect.

The concept, purpose, and impact of time is an important element in this
story, the entirety of which occurs over the course of one day, during which
several characters bob and weave though each others' lives to create an
interconnected patchwork of synchronicities. The banality of life
represents another important motif throughout the story, though there exists
underlying symbolism that, when examined and comprehended, heightens the
significance of the seemingly irrelevant conversations or actions of the
primary characters, who are described below:

The consummate pessimist, Lou Weaver struggles with multiple conflicting
emotions, especially now that his absentee father has suddenly reappeared in
his life. Lou's intelligence and desire to evolve keep him from drowning in
what he considers a cesspool of a society, and situates him as the unspoken
leader of his group of contemporaries. Brooksy Sterling is the closest
thing Lou has to a best friend, although they do not appear to have much
more in common than polished analytical skills and an inability to interact
harmoniously with women. Richie Wexler thinks he's a lot more intelligent,
charismatic, and attractive than evidence would suggest. Chalk it up to a
touch of arrogance and plenty of cocaine abuse. Mickey McQueeney - in
search of a gun and out to settle a score - can be most accurately described
as an unintelligent thug. Unfortunately for him, that's still an
overstatement. Cooter Haynes wants nothing more than to smoke weed and
watch television - not what you'd call lofty aspirations for a borderline
genius. Troy Vank - forever the clown - seems doomed from the very start,
though he may just have the last laugh after all..And then there's Bobby,
the ultimate anomaly within the anomaly..

Above all, Mutual Admiration Society is a story that deals with the arcane
nature of human intellect and emotion, not in an effort to explain it, but
to instead explore the damage that it's capable of. There is a theory based
in quantum physics that suggests half of what we think we see does not
actually exist, but is based only upon preconceived notions of what we feel
we are supposed to be observing. By expanding our minds and examining
beyond the superficial simplicity, we shall uncover another layer of
reality. Mutual Admiration Society presents the viewer with such a
challenge, while remaining ambiguous enough to allow for myriad layers of
reality to be revealed.
