SCREENPLAY
Vertical Short: Shallow End
Shallow End is a vertical short-form workplace mockumentary set at the Oakview Community Pool, following 19-year-old rookie lifeguard Evan Brooks as he navigates a summer full of eccentric patrons, unpredictable coworkers, and the chaotic leadership of Delroy Smith, the pool’s Jamaican manager known for dramatic monologues, odd rituals, and elaborate pranks. Each episode focuses on a self-contained comedic incident that builds subtle character arcs across the season. The style relies on fast pacing, whip-pans, close-up reaction shots, and confessional interviews.
