Abstract:
Ashton wants to become a screenwriter. However, he remains a discouraged dreamer as he wastes his time working at an electronics store. His best friends from high school, Mike and Amir, have their own problems; they may be forced to sell their comic book store. It isn’t until Ashton forms a loving relationship with a woman named Marissa, that he finally learns if you want a fulfilling life; you have to take the necessary first step. Written in the screenplay format to mirror Ashton’s goal, Along Route 18 is a likable homage to and parody of the romantic comedy genre.
