Films that are not only very meta, but edited in a very stylized manner ie. heavy use of text and graphics to accentuate the events of the film and precise cuts. Approximately one and a half pages of the film have been written, but I still got quite a bit to go and still need to discuss with my team for their opinions. But hey, these things don't write themselves!
