Arnie, a man riddled with social anxieties, is challenged to use one coupon a day. Can he overcome his anxiety and find comfort in the world outside his apartment?

This film is a concise way of conveying the feeling of anxiety by utilising tropes of the action and horror genres! When Arnie (our protagonist) is overwhelmed and anxious? He's drowned in sounds of people, cars, and...thunder, on a sunny day? When Arnie's feeling brave? He's a superhero, changing out his regular glasses for cool shades in an impossibly swift move while the camera dutifully keeps up with his strut.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT -

Arnie's journey with his coupon book is a conversation with my own anxiety. Do I struggle to ride my bike daily because it's very possible I get hit by a car? Absolutely. Do I let that stop me from riding? ...it's a struggle. Sometimes it's simply too hard to combat my anxiety and leave the house. So, what if there was a fun reason to go out each day?

This is step one of Arnie's journey; our goal is to explore his story fully! We want to know who gave Arnie this coupon book, what inspires him to use one every day, and how does this experience change him?
