Writing the Story

I wrote the story years ago while I was a student at CCSF. I didn't have the time or ability to animate the story until somewhat recently; that's why it has taken me so long to re-start this project!

The character "Aya" is based on a girl who sat behind me all semester in my business class. She looked more like a fashion major than a business major and seemed like the high-maintenance, conceited-type. Surprisingly, she ended up being really friendly and laughed at all my jokes during the semester.

I didn't get to know her too well, but I did learn she was a foreign student from Japan. She came to America because she felt the US gave better opportunities to women in the business world. At the same time, she seemed uninspired by the school and the subject matter (although she was a really good student).

We never heard from each other again after that semester. I'm sure she has long forgotten me, and if it wasn't for me writing my screenplay at the time, I would have long forgotten her.

Therefore, "Adrenaline" will always be a reminder of that friendly girl who sat behind me in business class.
