Digital Wilhelm v1
Storyboard Text
- As we pop into the lives of the Meister family in February 2019, Wilhelm lives with his wife, Natalia, and son, Felix. They reside in a suburb of Boulder, Colorado, where the people are hip, healthy, militant enviro-conscious, and wear flip-flops and shorts year-round . . . where marijuana is legal, and the sky is always blue. Wilhelm works as a financial planner at the firm of Boring and Stable LLC, while Natalia practices experiential interior design. Felix, an eighth grader (biological son to Wilhelm, and step-son to Natalia), takes Wilhelm on the rocky journey of parenting a 13 year old.

- Think of Living
- Those are double dose heritage-strength coma-inducing cannabis brownies.
- Help! Save the child!
- Felix, no!!!
-
- I didn't drink from the bottle, dad.
- I drank from the glass.
- I was very thirsty.
- How many brownies did you eat, son?
- We're not communicating here.
- Felix sits down after school to enjoy a snack of almond milk and brownies. Unbeknownst to Felix, his step-mother had baked the brownies using marijuana. Natalia's edibles were intended for her girls' book club meeting that evening.
- "He is lost!" screams Natalia.
- Later, at the Urgent Care . . .
- Tell Natalia that I recycled the container.
- I always taught you to just say no to drugs.
- Back home that night, young Felix takes refuge in his Iphone.
- Using his screen, Felix's mobility is unlimited.
- And with his Iphone XS Max, Felix represents complete modernity.
- I have a cool phone.
- Ergo, I am cool.
- "I don't care if you are the next great bildungsroman, get to bed!" says Wilhelm. "Or no screens for a week!"
- And there are other struggles that the family experiences. Vaping is one.
- 'One more forsaken woman in the world!' you will say. You are a man; you are a man; you are thinking: 'What a noise she makes, the fool!' Blahblahblahblahblah
- My child! Thou art indeed mine. I will keep thee, I will never forsake thee!
- Girlfriend trouble is another.
- And of course, there are the joys of ADHD.
- No one said that raising a child in 2019 would be an easy learning experience. But in the end, the journey is worth it.
