Derek's essay, entitled "Cruel Summer: Decoding Subtext through Shot Design in The Beach" argues that filmmaker Dorthe Scheffmann's filmic style, specifically shot design via mise-en-scene and cinematography, adds additional layers of meaning to the story of two intimate friends in a startling dramatic conflict. 

Watch for publication this fall.  In the meantime, enjoy an excerpt from Sheffmann's short film which served as the basis for Dubois' analysis.
