Welcome to Rainbow Road!

My name is Deanna Smutek, I am a sophomore at Purchase College and a first year student in the Conservatory of Film! My love for film actually came from my music production, after releasing my first few albums I wanted to tell the visual story behind that beautiful time in my life and everything I had learned.

I began writing, directing, and learning more in my personal life and as a film student. With that I have applied to all of my projects, they come from a place of genuine love for each and everyone person that the story connects with. 

The Story

"Rainbow Road" is the title of my thesis project. "Rainbow Road" follows a young man named Benji as he's about to make the biggest decision of his life, when he chooses his path, he comes face to face with his younger self.

This screenplay was inspired by the happiness of my childhood the realities of growing up as a young adult with depression. "Rainbow Road" also takes inspiration from COVID-19, and the stories of Generation Z as we faced the pandemic during our early years.  

This film takes you through topics of mental health ,acceptance, grief, growth, and what it truly means to keep moving on in your life for your younger self. We all look back to the better days when we were younger. 

What would you do in a world where you are faced to face with your younger self?
